Mummy and Little Me Retreats

This retreat was a lovely babymoon for both me and my husband. Vicky fro M&LM; has everything organised before go away and keeps in regular contact and couldn�t be more helpful. Champneys Spa is very luxurious, everything is clean, well maintained and has a very relaxed pampered feel. We paid for the extra room upgrade and the extra night stay which I highly recommend � we tied this in with going to Birmingham baby show which really made the weekend. The room was very spacious, clean and of a high standard. There were lovely robes and flip-flops to wear throughout the weekend. The food is amazing, I was dubious at how healthy it would be, but it�s really delicious with lots of choice and extras. We really appreciated that check in was at 2pm inc a evening meal, sat x 3 meals, sun breakfast & lunch and check out at 4pm � this really made a difference not having to rush out. The bump massage was lovely and relaxing; I also booked yoga and enjoyed the pool. The M&LM; classes and one-to-one session were brilliant, midwife Alison is very knowledgeable friendly and informative. This was brilliant for my husband who hasn�t had chance to think about anything yet. And for myself to ask lots of questions. There was so much I never thought about, and Alison really explained things that books only touch upon. It was nice hearing from other first time mums as well in the group. The goodie bag was lovely and was aimed at me having a little girl, which was a nice touch from Vicky. I definitely recommend this weekend away.

I was very lucky to win a Spa Day for the Mummy and Little Me Retreat recently. Champneys Springs is a lovely spa, lovely setting, very relaxing and lots of places to sit and relax. I loved being pampered one last time, being 38 weeks pregnant I won't be doing that again for a while I suspect! I enjoyed the one to one with Alison the midwife - what a lovely lady - I wish she could come and deliver my baby! Having done the NCT course, I found that whilst I had a good base knowledge of what to expect, there were still lots of things I could ask her - and questions I might not have asked my own midwife. I also loved the bump photoshoot - something I had wanted to do but not gotten around to. I would highly recommend - I think if I have baby no 2, I would go for the overnight retreat and would go mid pregnancy. This would be a lovely gift to receive from a generous partner!!

My husband booked this retreat as a surprise for me when I was about 28 weeks pregnant. We decided to arrive the night before so we could make the most of the facilities and really ensure we relax. From the start we had great service from Mummy & Little me and they explained the weekend, sent us personal itineraries and felt that we had a 1-2-1 service for the weekend. When we arrived we were greeted with a few surprises which really made the weekend, the complimentary foot and leg massage was just AMAZING! The day started on Saturday afternoon with a great chat with Alison the Midwife - this was a great discussion and a good environment on asking those questions that you were worried about or not sure who to ask! We hadn't started our NCT classes yet so found this workshop with Alison really useful and very insightful. We also had a great 1-2-1 with Alison the following morning in our room which was really good to discuss anything we had forgotten the day before or any concerns that you wished to ask in private. Alison was great throughout the whole weekend and such a great resource. I would recommend the weekend to any new mother to be and a great way to spend a relaxing weekend away with your partner. The workshops and chats with the Mummy & Little me team combined with some great treatments and pampering was just perfect! Thank you team for a great weekend!

I went on the retreat when I was seven months pregnant and I absolutely loved it. I gave birth to my little boy 2 months ago (4 weeks premature) and I have to say it's the last time I remember feeling truly relaxed or put myself first.
The venue was amazing and I loved the massage and the workshops and meeting other women I each in different situations. At the time I said that the best thing was being bake to turn up as a single pregnant woman and not feel like the odd one out. A few months down the line and now I say the best thing is STILL having Dr Runa and Alison available to me to answer any questions. The support you get from this weekend is amazing, and done so warmly. It's a must for any pregnant woman.

Attending the Mummy & Little Me retreat left me feeling completely relaxed and assured about my impending arrival! We came away feeling so much more confident and prepared for the arrival of the baby and birth. Alison was really lovely and so helpful, able to answer all our questions and give us informed advice on important things we hadn't even considered! The relaxing surroundings at Champneys also made it such a valuable time for me and my partner, we were able to have massages and completely switch off and enjoy our last weekend of peace and quiet together!

This retreat has been voted in The Times top 50 worldwide Spa weekends and it really deserves its space there. Every pregnant lady deserves pampering, relaxing and spoiling and this done exactly that. Myself & my partner had a great time, we relaxed, learnt lots, met some lovely people and left feeling more confident about what the future held. This is great for first time mums but also like myself second timers too because just because its not your first doesn't mean you don't have worries, questions and fears. Mummy & little me retreats team can genuinely make you more confident leaving you to relax and enjoy your pregnancy! Its an amazing time and life is too short to not treat yourself The added extras such as the photo shoot were great too, as you can tell I loved it all! x

Myself and my husband went on their opening weekend and we were so impressed. The team who run the retreats couldn't do enough for us and we left feeling rejuvenated and more well informed about our anxieties thanks to their lovely GP and Midwife.

The massage is amazing btw!!

I would recommend this to any pregnant ladies wanting to get away for some well needed pampering.

I'm now 5 weeks post birth but had to write up that I had an amazing time at the retreat. I felt like I had the opportunity to ask all the questions I was unable to broach with my midwife and GP. Plus I was able to relax and spend some good quality time with my partner before the birth of our first born (you don't get anytime afterwards so I'm grateful). The experience is a must for all pregnant ladies, it allows you the chance to put your feet up while still being proactive about your imminent arrival. Plus the support I had from the team post retreat has been invaluable, they are always available to answer my many silly questions!

Thanks so much Mummy and little Me for an amazing weekend, quite honestly my mother and I didn't know what to expect but we (both!) love every second and you made me feel like a Queen. Alison was amazing as well and I now feel ready for action - I would recommend the weekend to every pregnant lady, pampering and valuble tools were give, no wonder you were in The Times! Well done all a great idea
