It's also a safe place for you to meet other local parents and carers that can go on to become life long friends as you share these early months.
mumandworking is delighted to sponsor a whole day dedicated to the many very precious baby activities - we know how special these 
are for baby and parents.
A new baby is a wonderful but often challenging time with many changes. Work and career changes are bound to happen and we want to help all parents find family friendly flexible work. We can take you on the journey from finding the right course, or interview techniques, to running your own business or franchise. No matter what you're looking to do, we've got a career solution for you. If you're not sure where to start, take a look at our interviews with business parents and get inspiration from our monthly focus.
Babies learn and grow from the second they are born and activity groups are a fun and easy way to help stimulate your infant's progress. Group activities such as sensory and water play or play-based music and singing classes are all fantastic ways to develop a baby's cognitive and social skills.

Spend quality time with your baby.
Experience the joy of seeing your baby achieve a new skill
Programmes should be built on your baby's natural play-rest-play-cycle, to ensure they are not over stimulated.
A safe place to meet new parents, ask questions and share magical experiences together.
Many programmes for babies incorporate music-making and singing and there are good reasons for this!
Singing simple songs to your baby will help develop their speech and language skills. (Your baby will sing before they speak.)
Songs with actions are great fun but they also stimulate your baby’s auditory development and the actions will help them gain understanding and the meaning of the words.
Moving and rocking to music will help develop their vestibular system, inner ear and sense of balance.
Using various props will help stimulate their vision, eye tracking, co-ordination and motor skills.
Using
simple percussion instruments will help develop their listening, small
motor skills, co-ordination, sensory awareness, and determination as
they try again and again to master playing the instrument.
Shaking small instruments, such as a maraca, will stimulate your baby’s auditory reflexes and help develop a sense of rhythm and pulse which is very important for language development and creative expression.
Exercising
to music will help strengthen and develop their muscles, while at the
same time instilling a sense of pulse, (which is like the heartbeat your
baby was listening to in the womb).
Baby Sensory was the first (and original) baby programme to offer a complete approach to learning and sensory development from birth to 13 months. Each baby class as part of the Baby Sensory programme is designed to stimulate, educate and provide precious memories during the all-important first year of life. Baby Sensory has won multiple awards both nationally and internationally since 2008 as delivering exceptional classes, for babies and parents to learn, grow and develop together.
What makes Baby Sensory unique is that every activity has been carefully designed to stimulate your baby's senses, moving their development and learning forward. Behind every Baby Sensory session, there's an incredibly detailed lesson plan backing up everything your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels!
Baby Sensory provides ideas for creative play, massage, tummy time, movement and music in simple practical ways that can be easily repeated at home. We also use a combination of original and traditional songs and rhymes to develop early speech and language skills, and sensory signing activities to help you and your baby communicate from birth.
