Singing session
My child enjoys playing with children of the same age. It's also great for exchanging information.

Childbirth Seminar
I was very glad I participated this seminar because the content was more extensive than I imagined! Since deciding to give birth in the UK, almost all my information sources were from the internet, and I had no opportunity to hear detailed stories directly from people. I felt that my perspective had narrowed, and I wasn't facing the childbirth I wanted. It was very significant for us as a couple to have the opportunity to rethink childbirth. I was also very grateful to be introduced to Nakayoshikai nanny as my first child can not go to hospital during my labour. If my friends get pregnant, I would highly recommend this seminar.

Childbirth Seminar
For a first-time birth, it is very helpful to have a place where you can consult in Japanese.

Morning Activity
My child enjoys being able to converse in Japanese with children of the same age. The activities are packed with 30 years of knowledge, and as a parent, I learn a lot from the crafts and games that borrow the wisdom of past participants.

Morning Activity
My child has started singing the 'aiueo' song at home and has made Japanese friends. I have also made friends with other mums.

After School Club
My child has made friends who speak Japanese and can now enjoy studying, which was difficult to do at home. Although my child hasn't mastered hiragana yet, he is becoming more familiar with it. It's challenging to attend after school when tired, but it's rewarding because we always have a fulfilling time.

Childbirth Seminar
Thank you very much for the other day. I had no acquaintances in London who were pregnant or had given birth, and I could only gather information from the internet, which left me with vague anxieties. Listening to everyone's experiences and learning about childbirth in London was very educational.

I had no clear image and could only research through books and the internet, but I realized that listening to experiences is the best way to learn. Thank you for providing this valuable opportunity!

Childbirth Seminar
Thank you for holding the event! Just being able to gather with other families expecting childbirth in London made me feel like I would be okay. I realized the importance of valuing connections with people to avoid isolation in child-rearing. I was unsure about my birth plan, but I decided to listen to my body and aim for a natural birth.

Childbirth Seminar
As this is my first childbirth and it will be in London, I had many anxieties, but listening to the stories from Nakayoshikai members and midwife eased my worries and made me look forward to it! Thank you very much. I will be having lunch next week with someone from the same table!
