Barbara's story

Before HENRY, we had been quite isolated as a family. Although my baby seems to be very social, so she is much happier when she can spend time with more people.

I was aware of HENRY because I found a leaflet at the Redmond Community Centre, where I go quite often. My baby is quite small and it was the first time for her being alone in a crèche. She enjoyed it so much! For me, I really liked talking to other mums without having to pay attention to my child. Our group was great and we blended well.

I found new friends within the group – we can meet and chat, which is great. I really enjoy meeting people I know in my area. My baby enjoys seeing faces she knows so much! She enjoys saying “hello” and “bye bye”.

I found the courage to start swimming with my baby, which I wanted to do for a long time. So far we went three times.
