Sadiya Salim, Director of Baby Week UK, said; “We know that the early years are crucial and lay the foundation for a child’s future development.

​That’s why Baby Week was setup to raise awareness about the importance of early childhood, promote the best start and to celebrate what already exists. We are delighted that Baby Week has grown every year as more and more communities have joined the celebration in the UK.”

Torbay is one of nine locations across the UK and the only region in the south west working with partners to promote the importance of early childhood, the first 1001 days and promoting services to families such as Family Hubs and early years settings.
