💫 A Special Place for You and Your Little One
With 18+ years’ experience, we’ve designed a unique range of English-speaking classes for babies and toddlers (5–36 months), supporting their development through play, discovery, and gentle guidance — all at their own pace.
Our sessions build confidence, coordination, and communication skills in a nurturing, supportive environment.
🤝 Parent & Child Time That Truly Supports You
Raising little ones can be joyful and exhausting. That’s why we’re here for both of you. Our classes are a chance to:
-
Connect with other parents
-
Get expert advice from our experienced team
-
Feel seen, heard, and supported
Once your child feels at ease, regular members can enjoy a break in our cosy Parent Lounge — whether that’s a quiet tea, some work time, or a moment to recharge.

Parent & Child Sessions that Nurture Both of You

Through music, rhythm, and soft play exploration, little ones develop key motor skills, coordination, and body awareness — all while building confidence and strengthening their bond with you. It’s a joyful, high-energy class filled with clapping, crawling, giggles, and connection.
