Meet Fran new owner of Bloom Baby Classes Bracknell Forest. Fran is bringing Blooms multi award winning baby development classes across Bracknell Forest from February 2023. Each of our sensory activities for infants aims to promote bonding in a caring and relaxed atmosphere where you can meet other parents and enjoy watching your infant’s development progress week after week.
Before joining Bloom Baby Classes Fran used to work in the lettings industry before having baby Rosa and attending our classes in Reading. Fran instantly fell in love with the classes and decided to bring them to her own area.
“The classes promote a lot of invaluable bonding time which was just so special to me as a new mum and I cannot wait to provide the same opportunity to parents locally to me”
Fran will be running classes on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays to find your nearest class visit www.bloombabyclasses.com
Meet Sarah the new proud owner of Bloom Toddler Classes Reading! Due to the huge success of its sister brand www.bloombabyclasses.com Bloom Toddler Classes launched in July 2022 due to parents looking to continue their journey within Bloom. Set to its own funky soundtrack our toddler classes are unique to anything else out there, each activity promotes a toddlers development and helps create a passion for learning. Activities are engaging and supporting school readiness.
Sarah says: “Hi, I’m Sarah and I am really excited to be running the Bloom Toddler Reading classes. I decided to leave my job of 6 years to join Bloom Toddler Classes for a few reasons like a better work life balance, being my own boss and giving back more with the work I do! However, the biggest reason for joining was because I genuinely love the toddler age, *everyone gasps*, it really is something I’m so passionate about.
Toddler life can be so challenging but once that little baby starts to explore the world, grow their own personality and become a little person it really is amazing.
Since Covid the way toddlers are brought up has changed. Less socialising and even less interaction with toddlers their own age. I want to help change that. Our classes are a safe, fun and creative place for your little one to come out of their shell and start exploring the world again properly!
I really believe in just letting toddlers just do their thing so I give my daughters wide boundaries in a safe but explorative way. This is also brought in to my classes to give you and your toddler the best experience whilst you’re with us. We can’t wait to see as many of you as possible at our classes!”
Classes run across Reading on Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays to book a class visit our website www.bloomtoddlerclasses.com
Calm Time with Calm Cats is a new pre-school activity class helping children and their grown-ups develop emotional regulation skills, manage BIG feelings and build calm, connected relationships. Classes are not just for children but parents too!
The classes are comprised of fun, child centred, therapeutic activities that incorporate the 7 elements of the Calm Cat Curriculum of; move, stretch, breath, focus, meditate, imagine and relax. Using these 7 elements children and their parents can experience and learn together how we can use our body and mind to regulate thoughts, feelings and emotions and lay the foundations for positive mental health and wellbeing from the early years, throughout childhood and beyond.
Hannah, Calm Cats founder is hugely passionate about children’s mental health and wellbeing and is on a mission to revolutionise how we view it, talk about it and support it. Hannah say’s ‘Nurturing and supporting children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing doesn’t have to be scary. It can be fun!’
Hannah developed the Calm Time with Calm Cats classes after working with lots of parents who struggled to help their children manage their emotions. Hannah says ‘We weren’t taught this stuff as children or as parents-to-be as part of antenatal classes. It’s an area of development that many parents feel ill equipped to help their children with and can often be left feeling like they are failing. Calm Time with Calm Cats classes aim to equip parents with the knowledge and skills to help them be confident in co-regulation, emotional development and nurturing approaches to building positive mental health in their children.’
The first block of classes begin on 30th January in the growing market town of Aylsham, North Norfolk and is well placed to support the surrounding rural communities.
To book the Aylsham class head to https://www.calm-cats.com/group-sessions

Cricket tots’ fun & educational classes are for boys and girls aged 2 ½ – 5 years.
Our superb coaches teach basic cricket skills through action-packed classes that are fantastic for your child’s all-round development!
They’ll get your little one moving in a way that will grow their confidence & social skills, as well as develop their gross motor skills and improve their mental wellbeing.
And they’ll make lots of new friends along the way!
Cricket tots can also increase your toddler or pre-schooler’s focus and attention – both of which are important skills to have when it comes to learning in general.
Even simple tasks, like lining up in a row, doing high fives at the end of a team talk, collecting balls for re-bowling, or saying their name for the register, have an important part to play in helping prepare them for school.
Classes take place indoors (so rain will never stop play!) and focus on the building blocks needed to eventually acquire a different cricket skill each week, including batting, catching, bowling, and fielding.
We ran our very first Cricket tots classes in Northwood, Harrow, and the surrounding areas back in 2015, and they’ve been a popular activity for local toddlers and pre-schoolers ever since.
So we’re delighted to welcome Neel Panchal – a cricket-mad local dad of 2 young boys – as the new franchise owner for Cricket tots Northwood, Harrow & Uxbridge.
Neel’s Cricket tots journey started when he brought his elder son along to classes as a toddler. And with cricket being a big part of Neel’s life – he volunteers at his local cricket club, and captains his local team – running his own Cricket tots classes was the natural next step.
He’s looking forward to welcoming lots more families to his classes. To find out more or book a FREE trial class, head over to https://www.crickettots.com/northwood-harrow-uxbridge/ or email Neel at [email protected].

4 week trial for £15… can’t get better than that.
Hi! My name is Chakara and I am a life long fan and partaker of sports.
Growing up I played many sports including Tennis, Swimming and Netball. Being able to teach children about my passion of sports and the huge range there is to offer is amazing!
Basketball, Hockey, Cricket & Rugby are just some of the 11 sports that we cover at Leapfrog Sports Horsham and Crawley. We cover a different sport each week!
We are proudly multi-sports! The key to Leapfrog Sports, is that we don’t just specialise in one sport. Our award-winning, fun multi-sports classes, specially designed for 2-7 year olds, allow your child to burn off energy in a positive and pressure-free environment.
We offer 4 week trials! This is a great way for your child to try 4 different sports. We currently run on Saturdays in Horsham. We will be running Fridays in Rudgwick in May.
Check out a review from one our parents!:
“The first session my son was very shy and unsure about joining in but the coaches didn’t make us feel pressured to join in and we felt comfortable to just watch until my son plucked up the courage to join in! Each week we have a different sport which makes it interesting and keeps us entertained. My son now runs up to the sessions full of excitement and I have to drag him away at the end because he just has so much fun! The coaches are absolutely brilliant with the children and have a great rapport with them. My boy can struggle to listen and focus but i’ve been very impressed with how they work with each child’s individuality, and get everyone involved.”

Hello my name is Fran and I run Tappy Toes baby and toddler dance classes in Horsham and Crawley. I have always loved to dance from an early age and was so excited to bring these award winning classes to my area! I have also taught in primary schools for over ten years and now I get to combine these two passions at Tappy Toes!
We run every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Starting at 9:35 am with our Tots Toes class for 2.5 years – 5 years and then at 10:20 am we have our Teeny/Toddle mixed class for 6 months – 2.5 years. Classes are jam packed, energetic 30 minute sessions designed to get babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers moving. Whilst developing their musical awareness, co-ordination, posture, motor skills, social skills and more!
We use lots of different types of music and all the classes incorporate a range of exciting props to keep little ones engaged such as pom poms, tambourines, puppets and maracas! For younger ones we use sensory props such as glow balls and bubbles and encourage babies and toddlers to listen and move along to the music. As the children get older they start to learn the basics of dance, twirls, gallops and travelling steps! We also incorporate an imagination section for the older children where they fly off on a magic carpet to explore special places such as the circus or the forest!
We pride ourselves on being a relaxed and friendly space for families where children are actively encouraged but not forced to join in! Classes are perfect for boys and girls of all types of personalities and are designed to develop children’s confidence week by week. Our 3 week trial is perfect as it allows children and grownups to get settled in before they commit to the term!
