Classes for Little Ones
Our baby and toddler classes are all about exploring, discovering and enjoying time together in a calm, welcoming environment.
​
From gentle sensory experiences for our tiniest visitors to wonderfully messy play for curious toddlers, each class has been thoughtfully created around the different stages of early childhood, with plenty for parents and carers to enjoy too.
​
Classes run during West Berkshire term time, with current dates and availability shown in the booking calendar below.

Tiny Touches
Gentle sensory play for our tiniest visitors.
Tiny Touches is our calm and nurturing sensory class, created especially for babies in those wonderful early months.
​
Through gentle sounds, movement, textures, lights, songs and sensory play, little ones are encouraged to explore the world around them at their own pace. Each session offers something new to discover while giving you and your baby some lovely one-to-one time together.
​
There’s no pressure for your baby to join in with everything, feeding, cuddles, naps and little breaks are all part of life with a baby, and you’re always welcome to follow their lead.
What To Expect:
A relaxed sensory session with a changing mix of activities designed to encourage early development, curiosity and connection.
Our tranquil Sofa Club is close by too, giving you somewhere comfortable to feed, cuddle or take a quieter moment whenever you need it.
Messy Makers
What To Expect:
Each session includes a selection of messy play stations for little ones to move between and explore.
Things can get wonderfully messy, so we recommend dressing both you and your child in clothes you don’t mind getting a little grubby and bringing spare clothes is a essential.
Taste safe messy play for babies and toddlers aged 6 months – 3 years
Messy Makers gives little ones the freedom to squish, scoop, splash, pour and explore a changing mix of messy and sensory activities.
​
Our activities are taste safe and created with curious little hands in mind, giving babies and toddlers the opportunity to experience different textures, colours and materials through open-ended play.
There’s no pressure to make or create anything in particular, it’s all about exploring at their own pace, building confidence and having plenty of messy fun. And the best bit? We take care of the clearing up afterwards!

Stay A Little Longer...

Our classes are designed to feel like part of a relaxed visit rather than something you simply arrive for and leave straight afterwards.
