I’m so excited to share that I’ve been awarded some money thanks to Drop Dead Generous, to create 50 Mum to Mum care packages for new mums on postnatal wards. 💛

Each package will include a few little treats like tea, coffee and biscuits, information about our community, and most importantly… a heartfelt letter from another mum. Most importantly, I will be creating a community for these mums to share with other mums that are in the same stage as them

I’d love these letters to remind new mums that they’re not alone. Whether you struggled in those early days, found something that helped, or simply have some kind words or encouragement to share, your message could make a real difference to someone who is right at the beginning of their motherhood journey.

I’m looking for mums of all ages and at all stages (wether you’re a year in or 20 years in) of motherhood to help by filling in my short form, or if you’d rather, you can send me a paragraph via Messenger instead.

My goal is to create 50 unique letters to go into 50 care packages, so I’m hoping 50 amazing mums will join me in spreading a little kindness. ❤️

Thank you so much for helping make a new mum’s day a little brighter

This is the form:

Thank you for helping us encourage new mums. Your words could make a real difference to someone in those first few days after birth. By submitting this form, you agree that your message may be printed anonymously in a Mum To Mum Package

✨ July is here, and we’re keeping the fun going all month long! ✨

Both of our Thursday sessions are running throughout July:

🌿 Calm & Glow Sensory Sessions
🕙 10:00am–11:30am

🐻 The Bear Den
🕑 2:00pm–3:30pm

If you’re planning to join us regularly, don’t forget we have July bundle discounts available, making it even better value to book multiple sessions.

Whether you’re looking for a calming sensory experience for your little one or an afternoon of open-ended play and connection, we’d love to welcome you.

Which session will we see you at this July? 🤎

Have you ever got down on the floor and looked at the world from your child’s perspective? 🤎

At The Bear Den, we carefully set up open-ended play invitations at little-eye level, because what might look like a few wooden toys to us can become a whole world of discovery, imagination, and learning for them

Your little one might not set up toys like this- or just knock it all down. And that is also fine. But over time, and having play set out already like this can help little one’s imagination. And that’s why I think The Bear Den is perfect for little one’s creativeness and imagination

Our busy July Timetable ☀️
If anyone has any questions about any sessions please don’t hesitate to message
Our ‘once upon a morning’ session has been renamed as to avoid trademark issues 👀 but just think of a talking and singing mouse which is big amongst children AND adults and a castle 👀😉😂😅
Different sessions have different ages so please check them out 💖

A warm, supportive space where mums don’t just survive, we thrive. This is a place where you can come, just be and connect with other mums who get it. Mum and Baby Support

Introducing Our MamaBears Village Mum To Mum Post Box
Available at every session

As part of our Drop Dead Generous project, we're inviting mums to leave a little note of encouragement, support, or kindness for another mum who's freshly days postpartum. Whether it's a few uplifting words, a parenting tip that helped you through a tough day, or simply a reminder that they're doing an amazing job, every message matters.
Or maybe it’s something you would go back in time and tell yourself

These notes will be included in our Mum To Mum packages that will be gifted to postnatal wards in Leeds
It only takes a minute to write a note, but it could make someone's whole day.

Because that's what a village does.

Or if you’d prefer send us a message and I can write it for you or send us an email at [email protected]

I wanted to show our new followers the face behind Mamabears Village…..
Hi, I’m Chelsea. I’m a paediatric nurse and I thought I was equipped to be a mum 17months ago….
And boy was I wrong! 😅
There is so many things people don’t tell you about motherhood
It’s such a beautiful rewarding journey but it’s also HARD
During maternity leave we went to over 90 baby classes and only 5 were specifically aimed towards me
I wanted to create a space for BOTH mum and baby
A space where I get to hear about YOU, know YOUR name…. Somewhere you don’t HAVE to perform for your baby
A space with no clicks, no judgement.
A place where you can simply exist, be heard, seen and feel held
Because motherhood IS tough
Motherhood can be lonely and isolating
And I want to change that 💕

Happy Fathers Day Dadabears! 💙
Hope everyone has had a lovely day
Thank you to everyone who came to our Father’s Day crafts on Thursday!

In that room I saw a load of Mamas and their babies, taking some time out of their busy life schedule to make something special and memorable for the dads and it was so lovely to see. Everyone helped each other

From the instaprint photos in front of our Father’s Day backdrop to the home made Father’s Day booklet filled with tiny hand and foot prints to some creative canvas’s

I am sure the dads love their little keepsakes you all made for them 💙
