A Strong Foundation for Growth and Development
Tots Play’s Baby Development course is designed especially for our youngest babies, and provides new parents with a range of skills and activity ideas to give your baby a head start in life.

Running over six weeks the course includes;
• Baby Massage – a simple routine to help you calm, connect and communicate with your baby. Including specific strokes to help relieve colic and digestive problems.
• Baby Yoga – stretches, poses and movements to both stimulate and soothe baby, and a great way to have fun together.
• Baby Sign Language – how to start using simple gestures (signs) to aid communication with your baby.
• Sensory Play – fun activities to Boost Sensory and Body Awareness using a variety of everyday items to aid learning.
• Tummy Time Techniques – why tummy time is important and how to make it more effective and fun.
• Calming Techniques – helping you understand your baby and effective ways to help calm and soothe them as they go through their early development stages.
• Songs and Rhymes – how to bring music and movement into your play times to make them even more engaging and valuable to your baby’s development.
• Cuddles, Smiles, Bubbles and Lots of Fun!

Classes run for around 50 minutes and are friendly and relaxed, with a maximum of ten babies (plus mum or dad!) per course.
To ensure you get the most out of the course you will receive a full colour workbook, giving details of all the techniques and activity ideas covered at each session, plus background information on each of the topics.
You will also receive a Free Music Download containing a selection of the songs used during the course and a bottle of massage oil so that you can practice both massage and yoga at home with your little one, and get other family members involved.
The course is also a great way to meet other mums and babies, and find a support network of likeminded people with babies of a similar age, and sets the foundation for the ongoing Tots Play Baby and Toddler Play Programme.
