Can I just turn up to a class without booking a course?
Unfortunately, all our courses and classes have to be pre-booked in advance. The number of people per class is limited, so it is advisable to book as soon as you feel ready.
Can I come to a taster class?
Due to our courses being structured in two or three sessions or as a four week course, we are unable to offer taster classes. However, we are happy to discuss with you what our courses involve and answer as many questions as you want, to help you to decide whether our courses are right for you before booking.
How many are in each class?
We like to keep our classes small for a more personal and intimate service. Our luxury baby massage and baby yoga courses have a maximum of 7 parents and their babies.
I have twins and want to come to book a course or one off event, do I have to pay for two spaces?
No, you just pay for one space. Please message us separately, so we can put out extra mats etc to make you as comfortable as possible.
What if my baby is asleep?
We would suggest letting your baby sleep. In relation to our massage courses, we should never recommend practicing baby massage on a sleeping baby.
What if my baby cries?
Babies cry and that is perfectly OK. Please feel free to cuddle, rock or get up and walk around with your baby. Our classes are baby-led, so if your baby needs a feed, change or just a hug, please never feel any pressure to join in. In our baby massage classes, we repeat the massage strokes done in the previous week's class, meaning you will always get an opportunity to practice the strokes. In our baby yoga classes, feel free to join in with the breathwork or songs or just join back in whenever you and your little one are ready.
I cannot make one of the classes, can I just pay for the weeks I can attend?
As they are structured courses, the class you cannot attend cannot be filled with someone else. In our baby massage course, we will always repeat the strokes from the previous week, so you should always get an opportunity to practice the strokes.
What if we cannot make a class for one week?
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with a refund for a session that you have missed. Due to our courses being structured, we are unable to fill your space if you are unable to attend.
What if me or my baby are ill?
If you or your baby have a high temperature, heavy cold or conjunctivitis , please avoid attending to avoid passing onto the other parents or babies in the group.
Can I bring my partner or grandparent along to baby massage or baby yoga?
Due to space restrictions, we ask that just one parent attends and partakes in the class.
Can Dads do the baby massage courses?
Absolutely! Our classes are not just for mums.
Can I book on to more than one baby massage course?
Of course! We have lots of parents booking on to two, three (or even more) terms of our courses. Our baby massage course is the same every term, however, you will get to practice the massage strokes regularly and enjoy the social time with the other parents.
