The BabyCalm education programme

We support parents with a range of classes, from pregnancy up until your baby is one year of age. They aren't like other baby classes. We will provide you with real knowledge about raising babies in a way that leads to a calmer life for you both now, optimises your baby's development (holistically) for the future, and builds a healthy relationship for you both.

You will gain a thorough understanding of physical, neurological and psychological development and how this relates to the way we care for babies and how we have a more enjoyable and manageable experience.

Preparing to be a parent is huge

You can choose to attend the full 4-week course which covers everything from development, crying, calming, sleep, feeding, what to buy, slings, some massage and more. Or you can do one 3-hour workshop that focuses on development, calming and sleep. Alternatively, you can come along to one of our drop in sessions.

Newborns and the fourth trimester

When your new baby arrives it can be overwhelming in a million good ways and also in difficult ways. We can support you.

The newborn workshop will help you understand your baby's development, how to calm them, and how to get some more sleep. Our group will do the same, just in smaller chunks, as and when you need it, also offers the chance to build connection with other parents. Our nurturing newborns course is the most beautiful chance to learn about your baby, learn infant massage, movement and lots of other techniques in a super calm and nurturing environment for you both. You will also get information about sleep, weaning slings and swaddling.

These sessions are specifically designed for babies under 17 weeks.

Babies growing and developing

After the early days it can be just as difficult to know what your baby needs, and how to help them be happy and calm. Babies sleep is still causing you to be tired and there is a whole lot more to consider such as introducing solid foods, play and development and what kind of parent you are going to be.

Private consultations in your home

Our consultants offer bespoke, private consultations in your home or at another location if you prefer. Just contact your local consultant and let them know what you are looking for,
