Baby Development Classes (Birth – Confidently Sitting)
Nurture • Connect • Play • Grow
My Baby Development classes are designed to support your baby’s incredible growth during their first year while nurturing the special bond between you and your little one.
Held in a warm, welcoming and supportive environment, these interactive sessions combine music, movement, sensory experiences, songs, rhymes and developmental play to create joyful opportunities for learning, connection and exploration.
During the first year of life, a baby’s brain develops at an extraordinary rate, forming millions of new neural connections every second. The experiences babies have during this time help lay the foundations for future learning, communication, movement and emotional wellbeing.
Each class is carefully planned to support:
Social and emotional development
Sensory exploration and integration
Cognitive development and early learning
Language and communication skills
Physical development and movement
Parent-baby bonding
Maternal wellbeing and confidence
Community and connection with other families
What to Expect
Every session may include:
🎵 Songs, rhymes and musical activities
🌈 Sensory play and exploration
🫧 Bubbles, scarves and interactive props
🤲 Fine and gross motor skill activities
🧠 Developmentally supportive games such as peek-a-boo, clapping and cause-and-effect play
💞 Opportunities for connection, bonding and responsive interaction
🧸 Age-appropriate movement experiences to support balance, coordination and body awareness
Through playful activities, babies are encouraged to explore, experiment and develop new skills at their own pace, while parents gain ideas and inspiration to continue supporting development at home.
Suitable For
Nurture Class
Age Range: Birth to confidently sitting (approximately 6 months)
Perfect for newborns and younger babies, with activities tailored to support early sensory, cognitive and physical development while creating precious moments of connection between parent and baby.

Beyond the Squeeze understanding your pelvic floor & core.
Karen Ellis is a former midwife, mum of two and postnatal recovery expert who is passionate about helping women feel confident and informed in their bodies during pregnancy and beyond.
Drawing on her clinical midwifery experience and her own lived experience of motherhood, Karen teaches pelvic floor and core health in a way that feels practical, down-to-earth and easy to understand. She believes women deserve more than vague advice or being told to “just do your pelvic floor squeezes” and instead focuses on helping you truly connect with your body, trust it and support it through pregnancy, birth and early recovery.
Her sessions are calm, supportive and empowering, leaving women feeling reassured, prepared and far more confident about what their bodies are capable of.
Session Overview:
Most women are told to “just do your pelvic floor squeezes” during pregnancy.
But no one really explains how to connect properly, how to relax it for birth, or how to protect it during pregnancy and in the early days after your baby arrives.
In this practical and empowering session, former midwife and postnatal recovery expert Karen Ellis will help you truly understand your pelvic floor, not just squeeze it.
You’ll learn how to:
• Connect properly with your pelvic floor and lower abdominal muscles so your whole core is supported
• Use that connection in everyday life during pregnancy, when you cough, lift, move or carry
• Lengthen and relax your pelvic floor so it can get out of the way during birth
• Use relaxation during pushing instead of fighting against your body
• Support your recovery confidently in the early postnatal days
This session is about understanding your body so you feel calmer, more prepared for birth, and more confident about recovery.
AND There is a workbook with QR codes, so you can go away with additional info.
You’ll leave knowing what to do, how to do it, and why it matters.
Because your pelvic floor deserves more than guesswork.
LIVE zoom 19th October 7pm
Facilitated by Leanne, Doula, Nurse & Parent & Baby Wellbeing Teacher.
45 minutes of teaching with time for questions.
This session will be recorded and available to reply for 2 weeks after the event.
Includes really helpful Digital Workbook.
Baby Flow 🌿
A gentle, beautiful blend of baby yoga, massage, movement, music, singing and connection.
Baby Flow is a calm, nurturing space to slow down and really tune in to your baby. Each session gently weaves together the things babies love most loving touch, rhythm, movement, music, repetition and connection creating a relaxed class that supports your baby’s development while giving you time to breathe, move and enjoy being together.
Through simple baby yoga and movement, massage, songs, sensory play and music, we support your baby to develop strength, coordination, body awareness, balance and early communication skills, always following their individual cues and stage of development.
And it’s not just about your baby.
There’s space for you too. You’ll be guided through gentle stretches and mindful movement to release tension, particularly from tired shoulders, arms and the parts of your body that spend so much time feeding, carrying and caring. You’ll learn simple ways to respond to your baby’s cues, build confidence in handling and connecting with them, and take these little moments of connection into everyday life.
Think less “performing a class” and more flowing together a chance to pause, connect, laugh, sing, stretch and enjoy your baby without pressure.
Every session is relaxed, baby-led and welcoming. There’s no expectation for your baby to join in perfectly feeding, cuddling, watching, wriggling, wandering and taking a break are all part of Baby Flow.

Babies from 12 weeks to 12 months

Baby Yoga 🌿
Gentle movement, connection and calm for you and your baby.
Baby Yoga is a relaxed, nurturing session designed to support your baby’s developing body while giving you the chance to slow down, connect and enjoy some one-to-one time together.
Through gentle yoga movements, stretches, songs, rhythm and playful interaction, we explore simple ways to support your baby’s strength, flexibility, coordination, balance and body awareness always following their cues and never forcing a movement.
There’s plenty for you too. You’ll be encouraged to move, stretch and release some of the tension that can build up through feeding, carrying and caring for your little one, with simple mindful moments woven throughout the session.
Expect singing, movement, smiles, cuddles and plenty of baby-led pauses. Babies don’t need to “perform” or join in perfectly — feeding, cuddling, watching and wriggling are all welcome.
A lovely opportunity to meet other parents, build confidence and discover simple movements and activities you can enjoy together at home.
