Hey Mums-to-be!

What if you could have a ready-made group of friends in the area who were all about to have babies too?

We’re beta testing a brand-new idea: a mums group that starts during pregnancy.

Think of it as a fun, supportive group chat where you can:

• Share bumpdates and pregnancy stories

• Swap product recommendations

• Find out about local activities and great places to get what you need

• And build friendships with local mums-to-be with similar due dates!

The group will be warmly moderated by us (Nat and Mich - the founders of Sweet Sensory Play), so you’ll always feel welcome and supported. And once the littlest group members have all arrived, we will help facilitate opportunities for meet ups, playdates and sensory-filled playgroups!

What’s in it for you?

• 6 months of a Sweet Sensory Pods membership completely FREE as a beta tester.

• Instant access to curated information.

• Discounts on brands we love and local shops.

• A FREE playgroup organised just for your pod once all the little ones have arrived.

• Priority booking (our sessions fill up quickly so this is a biggy!)

After 6 months, you can choose to continue or opt out. No pressure, no strings attached.

All we ask is that you give us feedback along the way letting us know if the group chat and resources are helpful and how they can improve.

Sound easy and fun? Fill out the form below to apply to be a beta tester!

Applications close on 23 October, 2025.

What Happens Next?

We will go through all of the submissions and match mums with due dates close together, creating our very first pod!

If your due date is included, you’ll get a confirmation email, and then a text when it’s time to kick things off and introduce you to your new bump buddies!

Congratulations to all the mums-to-be and we look forward to building something amazing with you!

FAQ

Do I need to live in the Shire?

Yes. The beta pod is designed for Shire mums so friendships can move from phone screens to meet ups.

Can I apply if it’s not my first pregnancy?

Yes, that’s perfectly fine with us!

How many people will be in the group chat?

The exact number will depend on the submissions, but maximum 20 mums-to-be to keep things cozy and prevent conversations from becoming overwhelming.

Can I drop out at any point?

Of course. It’s like any other group chat. If you’re not finding it beneficial, you’re welcome to leave. But it would be helpful if you could tell us what you didn’t like so we can improve the experience going forward.

Is there any cost to being a beta tester?

Nope. None at all. When the test period is over, you will have the option to remain part of the community if you find it valuable, or you can opt out. Simply enjoy 6 free months of conversation, connection, helpful insights, local activities and opportunities to meet up with new found mum friends. No strings attached!
