We're here for you — personally, locally, and for the long haul.
Welcome to BabyMatters
We’re here for you — personally, locally, and every step of the way
Hi, we’re Debra and Hanna.
Between us, we’ve spent over 30 years supporting local families through pregnancy, birth and those early, sometimes overwhelming, days with a new baby. We live here, raised our families here, and care deeply about the community we’re part of.
We know the midwives you’ll meet, the hospital you’ll give birth in, and the local groups you might go on to join. And when you get in touch—whether it’s a quick question or a wobble—it’s us you’ll hear back from.
This isn’t a big national company.
It’s just us—offering something a little more personal— and we think that makes all the difference.
At BabyMatters, you're not one of hundreds — you're one of eight.
πΆ Small groups, max 8 couples — time to ask questions and feel truly heard
π Truly local — we live here, know your midwives, hospitals and baby groups
π Direct access to us — call or email and Debra or Hanna always picks up
π Decades of experience — 30+ years, a practising midwife, and a specialist breastfeeding counsellor
π Support that doesn't stop — social post course meet ups
WhatsApp community of 350+ local mums
Our courses don't end when your baby arrives — they're just the beginning.
You'll stay connected to us and to a community of local parents going through exactly the same stage as you.
Real friendships. Real support. Right here in Maidenhead.
