We need to start parenting out loud & talk about how we feel.

Too many of us feel like we are not doing a good enough job, and instead of opening up, we shut down.

Every parent finds it hard sometimes..

We know this, because we’ve walked in your shoes..

The first five years are the hardest, but also the most important. Sadly research shows it’s becoming harder & harder each year, as our village of support becomes smaller, the cost of raising children escalates and the ‘to-do’ list keeps on growing.

We want to lift you up, give you the strength to overcome those tougher days, and ultimately be the happiest version of yourself.

We are here for you, so you can be there for your child.

  • Who we are

    Think of us as your wing-parent. Holding your hand on the journey or fiercely cheer-leading from the sides. Whenever you need us, wherever you are. Helping you get through the tough times and find joy in everyday.

  • What we do

    We’ve unpacked decades of science and our own experiences as early years’ teachers, to provide you with weekly personalised content, non-judgmental support and daily play ideas. Making parenting easier and more enjoyable.

  • Why we do it

    Put simply, it’s what we love. We know that starting with good mental health in childhood leads to a better future. But first, we must look after our parents & carers, because you cannot fill from an empty cup.
