COCOON AND BLOOM

Cocoon & Bloom Little Blooms Stretch, Learn & Play

Designed for more mobile babies and toddlers, these classes are the perfect blend of gentle and beneficial yoga stretches to aid baby's development, songs and rhymes, fun movements and plenty of time for free play. Babies can attend from approx. 6 months old (or when they have outgrown Little Blossoms), and can continue far into 'toddler-dom', usually around 18 months.

​When our babies become more mobile and independent, they tend to outgrow calm and restful 'baby' spaces, but can be overwhelmed and overstimulated by classes for older children. Little Blooms meet your toddler's needs by adapting each class to how the group are feeling on the day. Through fun massage with songs and rhymes, familiar stretches and movements, and a chance to move independently and explore, we blend learning with play.

​Your older babies and toddlers will be able to socialise with one another, learning to interact with one another through play, communicating through eye contact, simple sounds and body language.

​We keep each section short as we know that your little one will have a short attention span, wanting to change position and activity regularly.

​The gentle stretches and movements that we offer babies and toddlers to take part in are designed to meet their developmental needs, such as learning to coordinate and control their body movements, gaining vitally important core strength, developing refined gross and fine motor skills, all in a space that will allow them to test their independence and social skills.

​As babies get older, they get a little louder and more excitable. These classes meet your babies wants and needs, however you are important too. We will also always make time to chat with each other, get to know each other and if our little ones allow, have space to gently stand up tall and take some deep breaths. Natural, heuristic play is at the heart of these classes for your baby, and the environment will be as calm as it can be for you to take some time out from the busyness of our day to day lives.

​A welcome pack is provided on your first week. During the final week we also make special memories with a footprint/handprint memento card.

​These classes take place in the beautiful Flowstone Wellbeing Studio, located within The Climbing Experience in Maidstone. There is plenty of parking and space for buggies. ​There is also a cafe on site, which is a great place to have a coffee and a chat with other mums and dads on the courses before or after class. With your permission, I can invite you to a WhatsApp group for your class. We are always stronger together.
