Doodle Bugs, Unit 5a&5b, Winkleigh (2026)

13/10/2026

Our next newborn and massage courses are starting in November!

Baby Bugs is a gentle, baby led, five week course designed to support new parents through those early weeks and months. Throughout our course, parents will learn a range of ways to support their new baby (and themselves) through this period of amazing (but huge and sometimes hard!) change.

During the five weeks you’ll learn:

⚪ Baby massage including colic relief & teething sequences to ease discomfort
⚪ Ways to play whilst supporting development, including age appropriate sensory play
⚪ Methods for supporting physical development, such as tummy time and movement
⚪ Using yoga inspired movements to calm, soothe and play
⚪ Social time to meet like minded new parents
⚪ Includes a digital course guide & bottle of massage oil for practice at home, and a friendly WhatsApp group

… and much more!

If you'd like to find out more, head to doodle-bugs.co.uk to book a space or drop me a line (especially if joining a baby class feels a bit scary - I'd love the opportunity to try to reassure and welcome you!)

After every session you’re invited to the Scribbleton café to mingle with your course mates for as long as you like. Enjoy our wonderful onsite multi sensory room and baby play areas and recharge with much needed adult conversation.

Come as you are - we can’t wait to meet you!

🌟 NEW BABY BUGS COURSE? 🌟

After receiving a few lovely enquiries, we’re seeing whether there’s enough interest to begin a new five week Baby Bugs newborn and baby massage course on Monday 14 September at 12pm.

Having a new baby is undoubtedly amazing, but it’s also a period of enormous change that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Baby Bugs gives you a safe, friendly space to slow down, focus on your baby and meet other parents experiencing the same highs and lows.

Having run baby sessions since 2018, undertaken lots of training and gained many qualifications, and with two not so little babies of my own, I know what it’s like to feel completely besotted and overwhelmed at the same time. All we ask is that you come exactly as you are. No judgement, no expectations and absolutely no need to have everything together.

Across the course, we’ll enjoy:

🌟 Baby massage
🌟 Baby yoga
🌟 Sensory play and exploration
🌟 Calming holds and soothing techniques
🌟 Demystifying tummy time
🌟 Understanding your baby’s early development
🌟 Support from an experienced and qualified class leader
🌟 Plenty of opportunities to chat with other new parents

Each session takes place at Scribbleton and includes time afterwards to stay and play, enjoy the sensory room and have a coffee and a chat with your coursemates. You’ll also receive a digital course guide and a bottle of massage oil to use at home.

We need a minimum of five families for the course to go ahead, so for now we’re gathering expressions of interest, there’s nothing to book or pay just yet.

If you’d like to join us from Monday 14 September, please comment below or send me a message by Friday evening. If we have enough interest, I’ll confirm everything and send the booking details across on Saturday 12 September.

And if joining a baby class feels a little scary, please do message me. I’d love the opportunity to reassure you and help you feel welcome.

P.S. If you have an older baby or toddler, we still have a few spaces on our other sessions, head to www.doodle-bugs.co.uk to find out more!

✨ Why you’ll love our Doodle Dots class!

Got a little one around 4 months to confidently crawling? Our Doodle Dots sessions are the perfect mix of fun, learning and calm. Every week is full of baby yoga, songs and rhymes, helpful signs, and sensory play to support your baby’s early development, whilst having fun together.

It’s not just about the babies though, we're known for creating sessions that are relaxed, friendly and welcoming. Every session is a no pressure opportunity for you to meet other new parents, and pick up ideas you can easily replicate at home.

Play and exploration at Scribbleton (including our popular multi-sensory room) is included in the cost of your class, so you can stay and socialise after every session!

🌟Our final Baby Bugs newborn & massage course before the summer holidays starts Monday 8 June!🌟

Having a new baby, whilst undoubtedly amazing, is also a period of huge change which can feel overwhelming. One of the things that can be incredibly helpful is meeting a group of likeminded new parents and having the space to focus on and truly enjoy your new baby.

And that's where Baby Bugs comes in!

Having run sessions since 2018, and with two not so little babies of my own, I know what it's like to feel completely besotted and overwhelmed at the same time.

That's why I created Baby Bugs. I take great pride in making these sessions a safe and friendly space where all we ask is that you come as you are. We'll give you the time and opportunity to relax and play with your baby, and learn lots of new things including...

🌟 baby massage
🌟 baby yoga
🌟 sensory play & exploration
🌟calming holds & soothing techniques
🌟 demystifying tummy time
🌟 understanding early development
🌟 .... and loads more!

But more importantly, you'll also be supported by others who are experiencing the same highs and lows as you, and an experienced and qualified class leader too.

⭐ Starts 8 June and runs for 5 weeks
⭐ Takes place at Scribbleton
⭐ Includes time to stay and play, use the sensory room, have coffee and chat with your coursemates
⭐ Includes a digital course guide & bottle of massage oil for practice at home

If you'd like to find out more, head to doodle-bugs.co.uk to book a space or drop me a line (especially if joining a baby class feels a bit scary - I'd love the opportunity to try to reassure and welcome you!)
