We host excellent community events that build relationships, support parents and welcome everyone.

We're an award-winning group for parents and carers of pre-school children meeting weekly in Market Harborough. Powered by hot drinks cakes, and the amazing volunteers of Living Rock Church, we're here to help you and your family learn, grow and have fun.

What we do

Events & resources for parents, carers and kids

We're more than just a fantastic mums and kids group! We genuinely care about the whole family and providing support for everyone!

Familystop

A weekly group for parents/carers and pre-school children. We meet at 9:45am on Friday mornings at The Cube for soft play, stories, singing, coffee and cakes! We ask for a £2.50 donation on arrival to help us continue running these events.

Dadstop

Once a month on a Saturday morning we open up The Cube for Dadstop - a group specifically for dads and their pre-school kids. Just like Familystop but with bacon rolls 👌 It's at 9:45am and open to all dads.

Mumstop & Dadstop Socials

Sometimes we need to spend time with other parents without the kids! We regularly meet up for drinks, quiz nights, food and more, and we'd love you to come along!

Resources & Care

We're passionate about providing support and resources for families that goes beyond the weekly groups. Parenting is a 24/7 job! We're developing courses, articles and more resources to help families with many aspects of parenting... from sleep training to ideas for fun local days out!

What makes us different?

Groups for the whole family

Familystop provides events, resources and care for everyone in the family - mums, dads, grandparents, carers and children. We know that caring for children can look different for each of us and we believe we all deserve the same level of support.

Here's what others have to say about Familstop, Dadstop & Mumstop...

"We love all of it!"

Familystop parent

"I like the ability to have free roam and you can talk to others there. The volunteers are amazing and super easy to talk to, you feel less lonely."

Familystop parent

"I love it all. My 3 year old absolutely adores coming. It's so inviting"

Familystop parent

"A very welcoming bunch of guys offering a friendly space for dads to spend a couple of hours with their kids and other like minded parents. Love the bacon rolls, coffee and fresh fruit for the kids. I don't get to meet other dads outside of this space so I really appreciate this group and would encourage others to attend."

Dadstop parent

"Plenty of free play for kids with fun toys, both indoor and outdoor. Mainly the welcoming people serving amazing free and tasty cakes and drinks. The free cakes isn't necessarily needed but makes going more fun and extra enjoyable 😋"

Are spaces limited?

During the summer months we are not restricted on numbers attending. During the colder months we are limited on space inside The Cube and so offer booking links for all events.

We do our best to accommodate everyone with the food and drinks that we serve. Milk alternatives are available for hot drinks, and we always have information that states which allergens are used in any cakes that are served.

Where is it?

Familystop and Dadstop events take place at The Cube (location info above). The location of the socials varies depending on what is planned. All event information will be posted here.

How many people attend?

We have lots of people that attend our various groups, and most weeks we have brand new people. During the summer we expect between 15 and 20 families, and during the winter we have space for approximately 12 families.

Is there parking?

Yes, although the free parking spaces are limited, especially during Dadstop on Saturdays as there is a big football club that takes place on Symington's Rec. We recommend parking in one of the main car parks nearby.
