Transform your parenting experience with our award-winning classes in Stroud & Cricklade! Specializing in Baby Massage, Massage stretch & Play, and Tummy Time.

I focus on nurturing, growth and development through play. Hi, I am Bea. I live in Stroud, and work as a community midwife in Swindon. Bumble&Bea was set up after I had two children very close together and wanted to create some classes for all parents, that was non judgemental and considered a safe space for all to come and recharge and be looked after while learning new skills, making friends or playing and having fun with their babies/children.

🎄Christmas waitlist🎄

Now those heatwaves have disappeared, I’m getting excited about those Ber months and have been asked quite a few times about my Christmas specials.
So I am trying to be super organised,
if you would like first dibs on Christmas booking slots drop a Christmas tree emoji and what class you would like, and I'll start planning.

I love summer. I love the excitement of a beach day and how much fun it can be spending time in the garden. But I have to admit, I’ve found parenting in these extreme heats too much. And I can’t imagine being pregnant, giving birth, or having a newborn during these heatwaves!

So, if you’ve found the heat a bit too much too, are you with me? Are you excited about the thought of crisp mornings, having to reach for extra layers, and wrapping up in scarves?

To be honest, my favourite time of year is autumn. I love the changing leaves, the fact that it’s completely acceptable to have hot chocolates all the time, and staying in to watch a cosy movie. I also love Halloween and can’t wait to start getting out all the crazy props! 🎃

What’s your favourite time of year? Are you done with the heat?

Why Developmental Play for 1-4 Year Olds Is So Important?

For young children, play isn't "just play", it's the foundation of learning.
At Bumble&Bea, our Play to Learn classes are carefully designed to help toddlers explore, develop new skills, and build confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

Here's why our sessions matter:

Encourages Creativity & Imagination
Through sensory play, messy play, construction, water play and more, little ones build problem solving and creative thinking skills.

Supports Cognitive & Early Learning Development
Activities help strengthen focus, coordination, early maths + language foundations, and pre-writing skills.

Builds Social Confidence
Children learn to share, communicate, and play alongside others, all in a warm, welcoming space.

Develops Motor Skills
The activities encourage movement, balance, grip strength, coordination and body awareness.

My goal is simple: to help your child learn through joy and play, while you get to enjoy watching and playing with them and leaving the mess for me to clean up.

Join our Play to Learn classes and watch your little one have the best time. New classes starting Tuesday the 8th of September at 11:30-12:30 at Eastcombe Scout Hut.

Still unsure- read some of my google reviews.

“We have loved every minute of Bea’s classes, from 9 weeks to 9 months, our weekly Thursday class in Cricklade has been one of the highlights of the week. Bea is so welcoming and creates such a wonderful place for mums to meet and socialise with their babies. Our little boy especially enjoyed the Massage, Stretch and Play class- so much that we repeated the course 3 times! Thank you Bea for creating so many special memories for us 🧡” Chloe.

“I couldn’t recommend Bea and her baby classes more! We’ve absolutely loved attending over the last year. Bea offers a variety of courses, perfectly suited for every stage — from tiny babies to crawling and toddling little ones, which has been great as my baby has grown.
The environment is always so welcoming and thoughtfully put together: lovely toys, sweet footprint art activities, plus a hot drink and a snack that feel like such a treat in the day! My baby loved coming each week, and it quickly became a highlight in our week. Bea is warm, friendly, and truly brilliant at what she does. If you’re thinking about joining, do it — you’ll love it!” Google review from. Hinkersbee.

“Just completed our second round of classes with Bumble and Bea and have already booked a third. Definitely the best mum and baby classes in the area. Everything has been thought of, not just for the baby but for the care giver as well. Highly recommended” Hannah
