Built with parents from day one

  • London-first
  • Built with parent research
  • Trusted local providers
  • Pregnancy to early years

Finding things to do as a parent should not feel like another job.

Too much searching

Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, provider sites and half-remembered recommendations.

Not enough trust

Is it the right age? Buggy-friendly? Worth going to? What should I expect?

Too much admin

Different booking links, bank transfers, missing calendar invites and unclear cancellation rules.

Everything local parent life needs, in one place.

From finding your first baby class to meeting parents nearby — Fern brings it all together, matched to your stage, area and schedule.

What Fern makes easier

Your week, sorted

Baby classes, wellness sessions, meetups and parent support that actually fit your stage, area and schedule — without the endless searching.

No more mystery bookings

Know exactly what to expect before you go: buggy access, age fit, parking, what to bring, cancellation rules and the real parent vibe.

Plans that bend with baby life

Book one-off sessions, try before committing, and find flexible options for the days when naps, sickness or last-minute chaos change everything.

More than baby classes

Find parent wellbeing, local meetups and trusted recommendations too — because getting out should feel good for you, not just useful for your baby.

Early parenthood shouldn't feel scattered.

We've talked to hundreds of parents. These are the things they told us — and exactly why we're building Fern.

  • I don't know what's actually good near me.

  • I don't even know what to search for.

  • I would book through one place if it showed all my classes and managed everything.

  • Everything is scattered across Google, WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram.

Based on early conversations with parents and parents-to-be.

We are building what we wished existed

We're Coral and Nicky — two mums building Fern from our own experience of early parenthood.

Parents kept telling us the same thing: there is a lot out there, but it is scattered, hard to judge and time-consuming to book.

Fern is our way of making local parent life easier, calmer and more trusted. We would love to have you on this journey with us.
