Hi, I’m Mary and I’m bringing Bloom baby classes to Rotherham & Sheffield East.
I chose Bloom because I love the ethos of supporting mums as well as encouraging the development of babies through carefully researched, engaging activities. The Early Years is such a big passion of mine due to the impact those special years can have on a child for the rest of their life.
I have worked with young children for 12 years and I can’t imagine doing a job that didn’t involve little ones! I qualified as an Early Years teacher in 2010 and loved teaching this age group. Then, when my first baby came along almost 8 years ago I decided I wanted to achieve a better work-life balance so I set up my own business as a childminder. Now (after two more babies!) I can’t wait to organise my Bloom classes and my main aim is to create a fun, relaxed, friendly atmosphere which people look forward to bringing their babies to every week!
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 🎶
