The baby play workshop
Did you know that play is the main way that babies learn about the world and about their own bodies? Play and exploration is critical for baby development, but often parents aren’t sure how they can support baby development through play. Don’t worry, it isn’t all about baby Einsteins or astrophysics for the under 1s. We will help you recognise how babies learn through play, how to support this, and how to enjoy the journey of discovery your baby has embarked on!
We’ll help you to understand:
- How babies (well, all people actually) learn
- What conditions the brain needs to develop
- What play looks like in babies from birth to 1.
- How play can meet your baby’s needs
- How to strengthen your relationship with your baby through play

How do
we help?
We help parents understand how babies’ brains develop and the conditions they need for this to happen. We provide families with fun ways to engage with their baby, help them to recognise what babies are learning through play and to find ways to support that aim. Not only is this great for brain development, but it can also lead to a huge reduction in frustration and angry crying or ‘tantrums’ (for babies and parents!)
We use real science, based on the latest research rather than popular opinion or old-fashioned advice.
We offer frameworks to give you the power to create a family life that works for you and your family. No judgment.
We offer practical tools and techniques, fun play ideas, and a space for parents to learn about how their babies learn.
