Baby College
Inspiring Play Together
Welcome to Baby College, offering weekly development classes for parents, carers and their little ones, from birth right through to pre-school.
Our classes are warm, sociable and expertly designed around how babies and young children actually learn. We follow the multi award-winning Baby College programme: four years, 50 weeks, 200 carefully crafted classes, built around three age groups that grow with your child. Every session balances fresh, varied activities with the purposeful repetition your baby’s developing brain genuinely needs.
Come for the fun. Stay for the insights. You’ll leave each week with a deeper understanding of your child’s development and a pocket full of inspiring play ideas to try at home.
At the heart of Baby College is a community of warm, highly trained and friendly teachers, dedicated to guiding you through every session, helping you bond more deeply with your child, find your tribe and grow in confidence as a parent.
