Pre- and Post-Natal Tag Added to Moving More

The Hertfordshire Sport & Physical Activity Partnership (HSP), in collaboration with Hertfordshire County Council, has introduced an exciting new feature on the Moving More platform. A dedicated search button has been added to help users quickly identify physical activity opportunities tailored to the needs of pre- and post-natal participants. This new addition simplifies the process for expecting and new mothers to find sessions that are right for them.

If you are a new or expecting mother looking to explore this new feature and discover suitable activities, simply visit the Moving More Activity Finder and use the newly added tag to filter results.

Looking ahead, HSP and the Moving More team have ambitious plans to integrate this function further, with plans to promote its use through Family Centres and the broader health system across Hertfordshire. The goal is to make it easier for mothers to find and engage with physical activity opportunities.

Additionally, there's an open invitation for organisations and activity providers offering pre- and post-natal classes to share their sessions on Moving More. Providers who wish to reach a wider audience can follow the simple steps outlined below to list their activities. If you are an activity provider and need assistance, feel free to contact the Moving More Team at info@movingmore.co.uk for support.

How to Get Your Pre- and Post-Natal Activity Sessions onto the Activity Finder

For activity providers who are already using a booking system, getting your sessions listed on Moving More can be straightforward. It might involve simply collaborating with your booking system provider to ensure your sessions are made visible on the Activity Finder.

For smaller providers, creating a free Open Sessions Open Sessions account and uploading session details is the easiest method. The Activity Finder directly pulls data from Open Sessions, making it an efficient way to get your classes onto the platform. You can find more detailed information about uploading your sessions here.

To ensure that your classes are easily discoverable with the new pre- and post-natal tag, be sure to include relevant keywords in your activity titles or descriptions. Helpful terms include:

• Pregnancy or Pregnant
• Natal
• Toddler or Baby
• Buggies or Buggy
• Mother or Mum

By providing detailed session descriptions, you can make it easier for participants to find and book the activities that are most relevant to their needs.

This new feature represents an exciting step forward for both users and providers in Hertfordshire, and we look forward to seeing it grow and benefit the local community.
