Coming soon!!
Hi, my name is Joanne Reid. I am from East Lothian and I have two beautiful children called Mila and Parker and a fantastic husband named John. I have been a clinical support worker in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for 10 years now.
I have always loved going to all the baby classes in my local area when my daughter was born and I am now going to more classes now with my son. I love the bond that it brings with both my children and watching their development grow after each class is such an amazing and proud moment to share with them. I wanted to teach baby classes when my daughter was born but I never did it and after having such a traumatic birth with my son, where we both nearly lost our life’s, I have decided to take the plunge and go for it. I want to be able to do a job that I will love, family is very important to me so being able to work around my family and also meet new mums and their babies and share the same experience I did and still do by going to baby classes. I came across Bloom Baby Classes and it was as if the image in my head was taken out and placed in front of me on what type of classes I wanted to run. So I am very excited to announce that I will be your East Lothian Bloom Baby class teacher and I can not wait to meet you all!

Our sessions are packed full of back to back activities to encourage baby's physical, emotional, cognitive and social development so your little one is constantly learning throughout the session. We explain the research and science behind each activity we do so that you understand exactly why we do it and what the benefits are for you and baby.
🐛 Caterpillar Club (6 weeks to 6 months)
A gentle baby development class with a focus on encouraging bonding with your little one. Our Caterpillar class awakens baby's first senses and stimulates in a fun, yet soothing way, using bubbles, parachutes, lights, songs, pompoms, tummy time and baby development moves, ending the class with a relaxing massage for baby to help them drift into a long nap.
🐝 Busy Bees (6 months to 15 months or until confidently walking)
A fun, lively musical baby development class encouraging fine and gross motor skills, body awareness, early language acquisition, rhythm and tempo. Building on from the gentle activities of Caterpillar Club this session uses instruments, dancing, clicking sticks, Makaton and more to bring on your baby's all round development. Please note classes are NOT suitable for proficient walkers.
With a different theme each session to explore, no week is the same! All set to our unique Bloom soundtrack 🎶
