Coffee morning with Essex Babylab

Essex Babylab invites parents and babies to a friendly session over coffee where we share research insights and practical tips with parents(-to-be) to facilitate positive baby development.
This month, our topic will be baby's motor development.

We'll be joined by our own Dr Anna Gui, a developmental researcher. Anna will introduce insights from latest scientific research, including DNA and brain differences between children that can explain differences in their development.
Our special guest speaker is Emma Bowlers, a Children’s Physiotherapist. Emma will share the dos and don’ts for parents to promote motor development, presenting ideas and resources for safe motor play. She'll be available to answer questions on motor development.

This session aims to bring science-based empowerment to the community to support families from pregnancy to parenthood.
Free parking is available; please see below for detail.

Essex Highways are undertaking works across Colchester to prepare for the rapid transit system (RTS) and the A1331 link road. A key part of the route is Clingoe Hill, running alongside our Colchester Campus, which will be widened to accommodate a dedicated rapid transit bus lane running towards Colchester. We have been informed that the main entrance and exit onto Clingoe Hill will be partially closed. This will affect vehicles turning into the Knowledge Gateway from Colchester and those trying to leave campus towards Elmstead Market. Traffic will be affected from late August 2024 until autumn 2025.

The official Essex Highways diversion:

Into campus from Colchester: head towards Elmstead Market Vehicles will not be able to turn right into campus. They will continue along the A133 to the junction with the B1028 towards Wivenhoe, turn around at the traffic lights, and return along the A133 to the campus entrance. This junction can be found on what3words at ///fine.uses.moves.

Out of campus towards Elmstead Market: head to Colchester Vehicles will not be able to turn right onto the A133. They will turn left towards the Greenstead roundabout where they can turn around, then re-join the A133 towards Elmstead Market. This junction can be found on what3words at ///risks.lawn.shells.
