   I would highly recommend Baby College with George to my friends and family. Each week you learn and play with your little one in a way that supports their development. Giving yourself ideas of what to do with your little one during their wake windows, which is incredibly helpful when you're a new mum. Sessions contain around 10 babies (sometimes more or less), with their parents. I have found parents tend to be friendly and welcoming to new members as they are like-minded: caring about their child's development and there to learn. George is a very experienced child development practitioner, with excellent communication and always willing to help if you have any questions about how to help your child reach their next milestone. I took my little one here for 9 months while on mat leave and would definitely go again if the opportunity arises.

   We have absolutely loved our time at Baby College, and are truly sad to be moving on. George is such an incredible teacher, taking time to get to know all of the littles AND their parents (not sure how she keeps everyone’s names in her head!!). I have learnt so much about child development and activities to do with my boys, and the boys have really grown in confidence and curiosity. It really has been one of the highlights of the week. Thanks so much George xx

   George has been absolutely fantastic for the past couple of terms we have been going to baby college. We have loved every class and looked forward to it every week, I think baby college has definitely helped my daughter’s development. It is everything a baby class needs, singing, musical instruments, painting, and its fun and educational! Definitely recommend and already recommended to many of my friends who now enjoy and love as much as we did. George is a wonderful teacher and anyone joining baby college is lucky to have her!

   I had a fantastic time taking my son to baby college and highly recommend the sessions to all parents. George is a brilliant group leader - highly knowledgable, enthusiastic, welcoming and with a great sense of humour. Managing a room full of parents and young children is no easy task, but George does a great job of keeping everything moving and everyone involved and having fun. I really like how focused the classes are on infant development, with George explaining every activity with reference to specific developmental milestones for the children. Everything felt very purposeful and useful, I came away feeling like I’d learned something I could apply at home. Finally, I felt very welcome in the group as a Dad, both by George and all the other parents. It was a lot of fun getting involved and such a joy seeing my son and all the other children interacting.

   I've been lucky enough to attend George's Baby College classes in West Berkshire and Reading as a postnatal practitioner with experience in baby sleep. I've had the opportunity to collaborate and share knowledge with the families she teaches, and every time, I'm impressed by the depth of her expertise and the enthusiasm she brings to her sessions. Her passion for supporting families is obvious, and it's clear how much each parent and baby gains from her classes. George's teaching is engaging, practical, and full of warmth—whether she's explaining developmental milestones or demonstrating activities to do at home, she makes complex topics about baby development easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. I only wish I had discovered her classes when my own children were little! She is an exceptional instructor, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family in West Berkshire or Reading looking for an informative, supportive, and truly enjoyable experience with their baby.

   Classes are friendly, fun and covers lots of different learning areas. The classes are teacher led and well structured meaning the children are engaged and learning throughout the class. It's not a class for babies but as a parent I have learnt so much about my child's development and helped with my parenting confidence. We started with my child was just a few weeks old and still attend now she is 2. It's by far the best class we have attended.

   Baby College West Berkshire is one of the best groups I have been to. Hayley and her team make such an effort to tailor each class to the specific children attending. It has suited all the children I have attended with, from my inquisitive 8 week old, to a shy 1 year old during covid, and on the other end of the spectrum excitable, social 3 year olds! Each week both the children and grown ups learn new things, and Hayley is so knowlegeable and helpful too. Whether your children want to watch and learn from your knee or will be running around and "into everything" this is the class for you!
