How old do you have to be?
π Caterpillar Club is suitable for babies from 6 weeks to 6 months.
π Busy Bees is suitable for babies from around 6 months until confidently walking.
What's the difference?
At Bloom we do not mix age groups, Caterpillar Club allows younger babies to enjoy the calming atmosphere without the distraction and noise of older babies.
Busy Bees gives babies space to explore in a highly interactive environment and is perfect for little ones as they start to become more mobile and understand the world around them.
Both classes include bespoke music, sensory props, lights and beautiful parachutes that will stimulate and encourage their natural development in a relaxed friendly environment.
What's the aim?
At Caterpillar Club we aim to awaken your baby's first senses, encourage muscle development and build parents confidence. We end the session with a gentle baby massage which can aid digestion, improve circulation and ease any teething pain.
Busy Bees helps develop your babies fine and gross motor skills and encouraging early language acquisition. We also include makaton and heuristic play enabling babies to explore, learn and develop.

π The Rainbow Parachute π
We love this parachute as it's bright, contrasting colours naturally capture babiesβ attention.
It encourages visual tracking as babies follow the movement of the parachute up, down and side to side helping to strengthen eye muscles and supports the development of coordination between the eyes and brain.
As the parachute gently floats and ripples, we encourage babies to reach, kick, stretch or roll towards the stars.
These movements help build gross motor skills, core strength and balance, especially during tummy time or supported sitting. Even small actions like lifting their head to watch the colours move are important for neck and upper-body development.
For older babies, the anticipation of the parachute lifting and falling encourages reactions, arm movements and early cause-and-effect understanding β all while having fun in a safe, sensory-rich environment.
Itβs a simple activity, but it supports motor development, coordination and engagement in a really joyful, interactive way.
And in the words of S Club - Reach for the stars βοΈ
