Courses and activities for mother with her little baby

[Zork]

Hi. Not quite sure this is the best place to ask but I haven't found
anything else :)

We had our first child 3 months ago, we live in London but my wife is
Italian. She is going to get crazy at home without anything to do
therefore was looking for some courses (like an English to improve her
English) or activities organised for mothers with young baby.
Something were you can take you little child with you and it's not a
problem because everyone else does the same.

Google is not helping, could you? Ideas? Links? Anything really :-)

We live in NW1 if it helps, thanks in advance!

Firstly: is it you saying this or her. Some people love being at home,
taking baby to the park etc. and others hate it. If she's happy then I would
I've never come across English courses for mother and baby, but I don't live
in a very ESL area. The only course for mother with babies taken along I've
seen here are post-natal exercises
Mothers and young baby courses tends to be baby music, sing and sign, baby
swimming and from about 6 months, baby gym. Once they get past a year there
will be more possibilities.
At that age I always found toddler groups were best as there's usually
people that will hold the baby while you have a drink and a chat.

Try your local Adult Education centre, they may run courses where some
creche places are available.

A good person to ask is your Health Visitor: they should have details
of local groups. She may even run one for local parents. Another place
to look is in the nearest library, and in the small ads in shop windows.
