“No better start to a child’s life” – ITV News

“My times at Baby College are amongst my most treasured with the boys as babies and I genuinely feel all the support and fun I’ve had helped me to become the kind of mother I’ve always hoped to be.”

“We… really like that it offers such a mix of different activities. I found the weekly development topic fascinating and learnt loads (even though I had an older child!).”

“We really enjoyed Baby College and learnt so much! Thanks Heather, we’ll see you next term for more fun with Mr Crocodile.”

Sing and Sign

Contact: Website / Email

Sing and Sign classes have weekly themes that build week on week to create a 10 week programme. Some songs will be familiar nursery rhymes and some will be new songs and they all link with the new signs for that week. Each week includes props and instruments for the babies to choose and after the first couple of weeks Jessie Cat starts making a regular appearance!

Classes are fun and babies are encouraged to join in and move around however they would like. At the end of the session extra toys come out for babies to play with while mums, dads, grandparents and carers can relax and have a chat.
