Baby College Wokingham & Reading - Wokingham

Gemma B.

Both my little boy and I have loved our time in our Baby College classes, it was the highlight of our week during my Maternity Leave. Vanessa is the perfect facilitator - she is knowledgeable, approachable and enthusiastic. Not only did I learn through the sessions but I gained so much confidence in how to interact with my baby. He absolutely adored the classes and his enthusiasm as the starting song began was an absolute joy each week. I thoroughly recommend Baby College classes and will miss our group as I return to work.

Today is our last class of Baby College Wokingham & Reading because we are moving. Which is the only reason we would choose to stop classes at 6 months old with Vanessa.

We attended our first class at only 6 weeks of age & saw how engaged and enthusiastic the older babies who had been attending for a few weeks were with Vanessa. Her energy, smiles and encouragement were mirrored by the little ones, and I've discovered that over the weeks it's not just your baby that grows and develops confidence, but also you as a mum.

We are both going to miss our classes with Vanessa, but we are being sent off with so many activities (and an understanding of what each of them do), and a support group of friends until hopefully a Baby College starts at where we are moving to!

Details:
Attended 10 weeks to 28 weeks of age.
Activities in class: Songs with actions, body mapping, baby sign, dance, releases & spins, quiet listening, babbling, tummy time, tracking, bubbles and so much more.

The best baby class I attended! Baby college supports the physical, emotional and cognitive development with fun and engaging exercises, which are all based on scientific evidence. Vanessa creates a wonderful warm, supportive and engaging atmosphere. She also has a great network of other professionals and is always there to talk and recommend solutions when things feel a bit overwhelming at times.

One of the best classes we have attended! Vanessa is just wonderful! If you are wondering which class you should book, look no further! Being able to mix with other parents and children, and see them develop has been such a special time. We even do some of the activities at home now. I only wish maternity leave could last forever, and we could still attend the classes, thank you!!

Vanessa’s classes are both engaging and educational. She quickly abated any first-time-mum anxiety I had, and helped both me and my son grow in confidence. She’s always available to listen and/or give advice. Thank you Vanessa!

I started at baby college with Vanessa in January 2022 when my son was 3 months old. For the past 18 months, we have loved coming each week, singing songs, learning new skills and meeting new friends! My son has grown in confidence so much and loves taking part in the varied activities, his favourite being music play and the parachute! We will definitely miss attending baby college and Vanessa, but I hope to return in the future after the arrival of our new baby in October!

Baby College classes are perfectly created to stimulate each child in a progressive developmentally appropriate way. Vanessa at Baby College Wokingham/Readingb is absolutely the best. She is a natural and has a genuine care for each child. Her warmth and energy is evident in each class. She recognizes the different personalities of each child in her classes and engages with each to meet their uniqueness. She's very approachable in and out of class. My daughter and I will surely miss our weekly classes here and we a very grateful for all it has done for us.

I would highly recommend Baby College for any new parents looking into finding classes during maternity / paternity leave or on their days off. We took our little boy from around 3 months old, and he thrived over the weeks and months, we both loved it. There are a lot of sensory classes out there, which we also did and had great fun with those, but this really gave a helping hand with what we could do to help his development too. It gave us fun activity and song ideas to do at home, taught the importance of sign, movements and was a great place to bond with likeminded Mums and Dads too! Thank you so much Vanessa x
