About this Event

Move and Explore Sessions for Babies (Mobile to 18 Months)

Join us for a welcoming programme of 4 weekly, play-based sessions designed for parents/carers and babies who are crawling, cruising, or walking (up to 18 months).

These 1-hour sessions are all about encouraging your baby’s curiosity and development through fun, sensory-rich play experiences.

  • Communication and Language
  • Encouraging early sounds, words, and interaction
  • Personal, Social & Emotional Development
  • Building relationships, confidence, and emotional awareness
  • Keeping Your Baby Safe
  • Practical tips for this active and exploratory stage

Support for You

Our qualified Early Years Professionals will be on hand during every session to:

  • Answer questions
  • Offer advice on development and wellbeing
  • Listen to any concerns about your child or your own wellbeing
  • Provide a supportive space to connect with other parents
