Welcome! From bumps to teens we have it covered.
This is your one-stop site for everything you need to know about living in Hitchin with children.
Get your shopping bags at the ready, as it's not long until our next amazing NCT Nearly New Sale in Hitchin!
Doors open at 1pm on Saturday 27th April, at the Priory School on Bedford Road, where a fabulous team of volunteers will have transformed the school into a shopping wonderland.
The halls are literally bursting at the seams with high quality preloved clothes, toys, and equipment, at fantastically low prices. Everything is sorted into size/item and is priced so all you need to do is bring your shopping list!
Running twice a year in North Herts, as well across the country (see here for other locations), our large scale Nearly New Sales offer multiple advantages to buyers:
Entry to the sale is £1.00 per adult, (please bring cash/change for this if you can) but you can pay by cash or card at the till!
Saturday 27th April 1.00 – 2.30pm (15 mins priority access for NCT members at 1pm)
Priory School, Bedford Road, Hitchin, SG5 2UR

Is your little one starting Reception this September?
If your child is starting Reception this September, and your head is spinning with what you need to know and do, then make sure you read my article for all my hints and tips.
My eldest started school in 2021, and my youngest starts this September, so I’ve collated all my advice, along with that of the other mums at our school (all hail the School Parents WhatsApp group - you'll be needing this!)
Read the full article here.
Please share with any friends who have children starting Reception this September.
We’re so lucky to have lots of lovely woods in and around Hitchin, and right now is the perfect time to go exploring as the bluebells come out!
