Mumlovesbaby

About are classes
MumLovesBaby Classes are designed to be non judgemental, empowering and supportive . We don't follow one particular parenting style but encourage confidence following natural parental instincts. We aim to nurture both mum and baby with a short relaxation element for mums and babies to de-stress and connect with each other. Then we move on to the massage routine which incorporates soothing Swedish strokes and reflexology complimented by songs and rhymes making it super fun and relaxing for baby. The social aspect of the class is very important for mum and babies so we have complementary tea and cake so mums can chat whilst babies can play and explore from our selection of sensory toys
