About Us

The Meet-A-Mum Association originated in the United Kingdom in 1982 as a support and resource group to assist new mothers. The Bermuda chapter of the Meet-A-Mum Association (“MAMA”) was formed in 1986. Since then, MAMA has evolved to serve all kinds of young families in Bermuda whether it’s a mum, dad, grandparent, or nanny minding the children. Whether you’re new to the island or just new to parenthood, MAMA is a valuable resource for information on raising kids in Bermuda, and provides new members with a social network of support.

From the start, MAMA provides its members with helpful information. Each new member receives a New Member’s Guide, which covers numerous aspects of life in Bermuda with small children. The guide discusses various issues such as: healthcare for the whole family; schools (nursery, pre-school and primary levels); babysitting; fun activities for the whole family to enjoy; MAMA weekly playgroups; playgrounds; parks; beaches; pets; and other useful information.

MAMA continues to keep its members updated with a monthly newsletter called The Stroller. The Stroller tells members about: MAMA social events; MAMA weekly playgroups; and includes links to our Affiliates’ websites.

Socially, MAMA is very active. Aside from its playgroups in Bermuda (there is one every weekday in various parishes), each month MAMA holds a variety of events. There are four major events held each year – an Easter Egg Hunt, Summer Fair, Fall Festival and Christmas Party. There are also smaller events held each month. Some events are for children, such as treasure hunts, craft mornings/afternoons, or fun days. Some events are for mums to meet other mums in Bermuda, such as ladies’ nights out. Some events are just for dads, such as daddy/child fishing trips. Other events are devised to give parents a break from the routine, a relaxing evening cruise or romantic dinner for two. Plus, MAMA stays active during the summer so there is always something to do!
