Startup of the year 2014: The Birth & Baby Company

Name: The Birth & Baby Company
Based: North Shields
Website: http://birthandbabycompany.com

The Birth & Baby Company changed its focus last year to provide specialist parent-focused workshops and consultations for expectant and new parents.

I also set up the Birth & Baby Family Centre last year - it is a haven for parents with a young family and it provides information, support, a positive perspective and a range of antenatal and postnatal workshops and consultations.

It is a place where parents - mainly mums - can offload, chat, gain information and pick up ideas and babies/toddlers can play.

The Birth & Baby Company and Family Centre is all about good ongoing support for parents. I am incredibly proud of how it has all developed because it is just run by me and I have plans to develop the services to meet the needs of parents with older children.

Janine Smith is founder of The Birth & Baby Company
