hudson's little heart bereavement support - our charity partner for 2025/2026
after meeting our customers Rhiannon and Mike in store and helping them choose their travel system, we learned of their loss of baby Hudson at 22 weeks; after he was diagnosed with a severe heart defect. Rhiannon and Mike wanted to turn their grief and pain into something positive - and celebrate the wonderful staff at West Suffolk Hospital Labour Ward.
all monies raised by Hudson's Little Heart will go directly to the bereavement suite, enabling them to create memory boxes for the 75 parents a year that experience the loss of a child. it will also allow them to improve the facilities they currently offer, invest in counselling, and state of the art equipment to help parents through the toughest time of their lives.
you can donate via their Just Giving page, via QR code in store, or with a physical donation to our collection box.
proud to partner with Mini First Aid North Essex and Havering
we hold 2 hour Mini First Aid courses in store alongside our wonderful partner Lynn Jeffries from Mini First Aid. the course is amazing for parents to be, new parents and grandparents and covers everything from choking to meningitis awareness. book on to a class in our relaxed shop setting before the store opens, and learn all you need to know about keeping your little one safe in your care.
about the owners
Sara began working at Whites Farm Baby Barn nearly 30 years ago, after having her second baby. Fast forward to 2008 and she took over the business and became the owner. alongside her eldest daugther Abbie, they have created a safe and friendly envrionment for customers to browse and buy, with all the expert advice and kind support they need.
"my mum, my toddler and myself visited the barn wanting to try out and view the Cosatto Wow XL for our new baby who is due to arrive in a few months. the assistant who helped us was absolutely stellar, giving us lots of information, but allowing us space to wander and view without that feeling of them pushing you to purchase. I'm officially hooked now, we purchased our pram and will be making the barn our number 1 spot to pick up all our baby supplies!"

" we chose Whites Farm to shop for our travel system and were welcomed with open arms, big hearts and a fountain of knowledge! Abbie is truly magic at what she does, we felt so informed and like Abbie had all the time in the world for us. we had waited a long time for our rainbow IVF baby and I had always dreamt of the day I got to road test prams and pick one. Abbie made this experience so wonderful, and I'm so glad we chose here! Thankyou again for all your help! "
