Hi, I'm Joanne, proud owner of Bloom Leeds West I run baby classes in Pudsey, Bramley and Farsley. If you are looking for a multi award winning baby group to visit in Leeds then we are for you!
My background has always been working with children and families and I have a BA (hons) in Working with Children and Young People and have Early Years Professional Status. These qualifications have allowed me to work in a variety of settings which include Nurseries, after school clubs, American summer camps and cruise ships.
I am now Mummy to my beautiful daughter Lottie who is 18 months old. Born in March 2020 it has been a challenging time to become a first time parent but we have got through it together with the support of family and friends and we are now thriving.
We were unable to attend parent and baby classes in the beginning and I know how important they are to both baby and parent/carer which is why I feel extremely privileged to be able to provide these wonderful classes to families in Leeds West.
This amazing opportunity allows me to continue doing what I love which is working with children and families and also have a work/life balance for my family.
I look forward to meeting and welcoming all the lovely families to the wonderful world of Bloom.
Hope to see you all very soon,

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 🎶
