Little Noggins Discover classes are specially designed to support infant development and parent wellbeing. These classes are suitable for babies from 6 months up to approximately 12 months. 

​

Each week, we'll discover new worlds through our story-led classes. Discover classes combine:

 

Story Time

Aside from the warm and fuzzy feelings you get from cuddling up with your little one for story time, reading to children from a young age can have a BIG impact. Reading to babies can support their emotional development, and communication skills and ignite those brilliant young imaginations! We'll start each discover session with an interactive storytime that sets the scene for the week. 

​

Baby Yoga

Based on Hatha yoga, we ​combine a routine of stimulating, trust-building moves and stretches for our babies in each Discover session. Baby yoga not only supports your little one's physical development (balance, coordination and flexibility), it also stimulates their brain development. Baby yoga can help our infants meet their physical milestones such as rolling, crawling and walking- properly and with confidence. For example, we teach babies to place their heels into the ground when standing rather than walking on their tippy toes. 

​

Baby Massage

Using a shorter, adapted routine for our older, wrigglier babies, we'll use familiar baby massage strokes to set-the-scene for our class and help our little ones to relax and settle. Baby massage in our Discover classes is done over clothes, without oil. You do not need to have attended our Baby Massage course before coming to the Discover classes. 

​

Discovery Time

With a social-skills focus, we'll have plenty of fun together with actions, rhymes, parachutes and more! Each month you'll also have the opportunity to create a crafty keepsake with your baby. 

​

Relaxation & Breathing 

Little Noggins is here as much for the little ones as it is for the parents. At the end of the class, we make sure our twinkly sensory lights are on and take a moment to relax and breathe. ​

​

Practical Bits​

• Ground floor access & room. Space for prams inside the room.

• Toilets and baby changing.

• Mats provided. Please remove shoes before stepping on the mats! :) 

• Each class will involve moves where you lift your baby (optional as ever!). You may wish to bring a bottle of water. 

• Our classes are baby-led and strictly non-competitive! Please be mindful of your child's natural levels of flexibility and do not over-stretch. 

• Due to room capacity, we cannot accommodate older siblings in these classes. 

• We do not offer refunds for missed classes or courses. For classes cancelled by course leader (due to weather, illness), class will be rescheduled where possible (or a refund offered where this is not possible).
