LullaBaby Step 3 12 months up to 30 months)

Activity Description

LullaBaby Step 3 is a weekly themed class for older babies and toddlers who are ready to enjoy their new found independence and explore! At LullaBaby we understand that classes become a different experience when your little one is on the move and inquisitive. That’s why our Step 3 classes are carefully designed to be largely child led, whist still being linked to the EYFS (the curriculum for birth to 5 year olds).

What does the class involve?
Child Initiated Play – giving our children the opportunity to initiate play with age appropriate equipment is beneficial for all areas of their development. There’s little more rewarding than watching your toddler play with intrigue and confidence. This can include messy or exploratory play or open ended developmental activities

Sign Language – to develop early language and speech skills Signing – based on the Makaton signing system to reduce frustration levels as little ones become more competent communicators. We sign each week to our original and unique “Hello Everyone” and “Wave Goodbye” songs. We also learn signs linked to our weekly theme and for familiar songs and rhymes

Sensory Play – short and engaging activities designed to engage inquisitive minds and extend learning.

Music and Rhymes – To develop early language and speech skills. We also have LIVE music in some of our sessions.

Relaxation time – busy little bodies and minds benefit greatly from being given the opportunity to explore a calming environment where they can relax and unwind. Research shows us that children who learn how to relax and release tension are better at managing their emotions as they grow.

Each week the older babies and toddlers are invited to explore the age specific and themed play equipment. Here they will develop their knowledge and understanding of the world, hone their social skills as they move from solitary, to parallel, to co-operative play, and burn off lots of energy in the process.

As the child initiated play comes to a close, tidy up time is encouraged. This is a valuable skill for our little ones and it indicates to them that the adult led section of the class is about to start and toddlers often respond well to continuity and routine. During this section of the class the children will be entertained and engaged with a variety of activities linked to the weekly theme, thus giving them the opportunity to extend their child initiated learning from the previous section.

Everything we do is supported by years of research, information and guidance. This allows you to support your little one’s development as they grow.

What do our customers say?
We came to LullaBaby when my son was around 9months old and we stayed all the way until he was 30months. I would have stayed forever if I could.
It was the absolute highlight of our week. Not only did my son love it but I did too.
Becky brings everyone together and makes the group such a fun and inclusive place.
From the day I joined I felt like I had been there forever.
Each week is a different theme which with it brings new things to explore.
Thank you so much Becky we have loved every session and will miss this group so much.

We first came across Lullababy August 2021 for a Beach Party special – my daughter was 10 months at the time and due to covid we had not been able to join any similar groups before. I was amazed at how much she enjoyed it and interacted with the other children. We signed up for the regular sessions and she is now two. The sessions have allowed her to become comfortable and she has grown so much in confidence over that time. The themed sessions mean there are different things to explore each week and there are always activities you can easily try at home. We will really miss the sessions and I hope to return with my son at a later date. Thank you Becky!

We started going here 6 weeks ago, my little one has come on leaps and bounds. She’s loved her time with Becky who is delightful and has a fantastic singing voice which just adds to the class. The activities and sensory stations are beautifully set up and themed. You can tell that a lot of care and attention goes into making each week as immersive as possible. Since joining my daughter has started walking, I believe seeing the other children up and about has encouraged her to progress. We are leaving because our schedule doesn’t allow time for this class anymore but I would recommend this sensory class to all who care and want their babies to socialise and have some sensory fun. I was new to the area and felt absolutely welcomed attending

100% recommend LullaBaby – we have been attending since my little one was 9 weeks old and he’s now nearly 18 months! We have loved our time from Step 1 all the way to Step 3 – his confidence has grown so much and loves the sessions! a lovely group to attend and suitable for new borns up to toddlers xx
