Hearing from families makes such a difference to our staff teams and we love celebrating your growing families and positive experiences with our wider community.

If you would like to share your experience, please send us a message.

As part of sharing photos publicly, we also want to help promote current safe sleep guidance and ensure that any images we share align with up-to-date recommendations from The Lullaby Trust.

Even for experienced parents - and many of us as professionals and parents ourselves - safe sleep guidance can change over time, so we know it’s not always something people are actively thinking about when sending in lovely family photos.

Before submitting an image, we’d therefore ask families to have a quick read of our pinned post.

Thank you

🌟Update on Compliments 🌟
We love receiving your compliments. Hearing from families makes such a difference to our staff teams and we love celebrating your growing families and positive experiences with our wider community.

As part of sharing photos publicly, we also want to help promote current safe sleep guidance and ensure that any images we share align with up-to-date recommendations from The Lullaby Trust.

Even for experienced parents - and many of us as professionals and parents ourselves - safe sleep guidance can change over time, so we know it’s not always something people are actively thinking about when sending in lovely family photos.

Before submitting an image, we’d therefore ask families to have a quick read through the current guidance about images of sleeping babies https://www.lullabytrust.org.uk/about-us/news-and-media/image-guidelines/

If your photo already reflects the guidance, there’s nothing further you need to do.

If not, please don’t worry at all - we’d still love to hear from you, and we’d be very happy for you to send an updated photograph if you would like your image to be considered for sharing publicly.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us and for helping us promote safe sleep alongside celebrating families and babies across our community.
