The 30 Best Baby classes in Manchester

“An amazing place to bring your child(ren). Each class is different and fun. Becky and Loz do a fantastic job of bringing so much excitement, colourful props. Their cheerful and empathetic personality, makes you feel valued. Me and my girl always looked forward to the classes. Thank you for offering your services which are highly recommended. If you've got a child or children under 4 please do them a favour and bring them to toddler sense. It was the best thing I ever done to bring my girl here. She loved this placed and so did I! ❤️”

“Adventure babies has been fantastic! Our daughter has thoroughly loved them (as have I), and this is by far the best parent and baby class we have been to. Really well thought through and executed sessions, With fantastic toys and accessories, always tailored to that weeks book. Cannot recommend these sessions and Hannah (who organises them) more highly, and we have already signed up for the next term!”

“Can't recommend enough this baby sensory! Becky has been amazing in every aspect. My baby started when she was three months old . This week we had her 1 year old birthday party in the sensory area and it has been so great! Thank you for all the precious memories ❤️”

“Rachel’s class are welcoming and a lovely place to take baby! She’s very accommodating & knowledgeable! I really appreciate the advice offered during the classes from other Rachel & other parents. Thank you Rachel xx”

“Can not recommend Puddle Ducks enough. Made to feel so welcome, super friendly staff and a lovely set up! Highly highly recommend! X”

“I had my daughter’s second birthday here and everything about it was perfect! I also have a 4 year old with Down Syndrome and finding a suitable play area what he can do confidently is very difficult. Baby boom is the only place I feel at ease knowing he can play with his sister and friends safely. 100% would recommend for classes, group play and definitely birthdays!”

“We had an awesome time at Minikin for our dads 80th birthday. We did the paint a pot party and it was lovely to sit down as a family (ages 4 all the way up to 80) and get creative! We'll all have a unique memento of a special weekend together. Claire was brilliant and so helpful. Cannot wait to see how they all come out after they've been in the kiln :) Highly recommend.”

“Aqua Babies: A Weekly Dose of Joy and Confidence Building. Aqua Babies Timperley has become the absolute highlight of our week, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment we stepped into the pool, we were met with a truly warm and welcoming team. Their genuine enthusiasm and gentle approach immediately put both my son and myself at ease. Our instructor is fantastic, demonstrating a real passion for what they do. They create a nurturing environment where little ones can explore the water at their own pace. What's truly wonderful to witness is my son's growing confidence. Each week, he's becoming more comfortable and adventurous in the water, and it's all thanks to the patient and encouraging guidance he receives. Seeing him progress from tentative splashes to happy, independent movements is an absolute joy. The classes are thoughtfully structured and always include fun songs and games. It's clear that the team has a deep understanding of child development, and they tailor the activities to suit each child's individual needs. Beyond the excellent instruction, it's the friendly and supportive atmosphere that truly sets Aqua Babies apart. The team remembers each child's name, celebrates their achievements, and makes every session feel like a special occasion. It's a pleasure to attend, not just for my son's development, but also for the sense of community and connection we've found. If you're looking for a baby swimming class that combines expert instruction with a genuinely warm and welcoming environment, Aqua Babies Timperley is the perfect choice. It's been an absolute delight to watch my son flourish, and we look forward to our weekly swim with immense anticipation. Gemma & Jude Brookes”

“Brilliant company, and reasonable prices! Nice relaxed scan room I loved the additional touch of the lights/stars on ceiling. Huge screen right in front to see baby scans. We had a selection of pics to choose from and the one we chosen was so clear! Very cute Teddy selection too if you want to purchase heartbeat audio.”

“Beverley Bowers - absolute best nurse I've ever met in my life.. Beautiful person, caring, kind and is so helpful and talks you through the procedures fully. Takes her time. Thank you. True asset to Care Fertility Manchester xx”

“This baby sensory class is brilliant and Katie is so friendly! I went to Bloom classes with my son 3 years ago and now I’m going again with my daughter and we love it! The class is fun and engaging with props provided, singing/dancing and even baby massage at the end to relax the little ones! I’d recommend this class to anyone who has a baby and I’ll be sad when my little one will be too old to come to them!”

“Myself and my son love Jen's story and sensory sessions. Jen is so lovely and personable with each and every child and adult.”

“Absolutely brilliant. met some great people and cant wait to book baby in for another session!!”

“We've done Hannah's Bloom classes both at Gatley and Cheadle Heath. The classes are entertaining and support little ones' development but Hannah really is the star of the show. My daughter is captivated by her, and she knows all the babies by name. She creates a welcoming and safe atmosphere and after a tricky start with numerous health problems, she helped make my first venture out of the house with my baby a really positive one. I go back to work soon and I'm gutted that I will miss our weekly classes.”

“We have been attending Dolphin babies since the New Year with our baby who was 3 months old at the time that he started his swimming lessons. When choosing a swim school, it was important to us that both my husband and I could attend the session with our baby as he has bad eczema which takes us both to get him ready before and after the session. For this reason, it was also important that the venue has good family changing facilities. When I have contacted Dolphin babies, Becky has been very informative and accomodating. The instructors have all been lovely and as a family, we all look forward to the session each week. My husband goes in the pool with our baby and enjoys the bonding time with him. We love that our baby is developing a vital life long skill and we can already see improvement from his first lesson. Our only wish is that the pool was warmer but that is of no fault of dolphin babies. We always recommend dolphin babies and were pleased when a friend booked the sessions for her baby too.”

“So so happy with Aquababies. My kids have been going for years and have made amazing progress - the teaching methods are so effective with my little ones and the teachers are attentive and patient. Wouldn’t send them anywhere else to swim.”

“I have been going to the bloom baby classes since my son was 9 weeks old. Rachel is the most fantastic class leader, she is so warm and welcoming ! I think these classes are so amazing for baby’s development and we sing the songs we learnt at class every day at home ! We enjoyed the classes so much we have booked on for a second term.”

“We've done several terms with Holly at Bloom now and my little girl has loved every single one! We even sing the songs regularly at home! A lovely experience for mum's or dad's to take their little ones to!”

“Archie cannot wait for Wednesdays to come as he LOVES Caterpillar Club Rachel is a lovely and friendly host, informative and the babies love her! Really great class, which has thought me new ways to interact with my little one, we even do some of these at home. Not to mention time meeting new mums for some adult interaction The themed weeks are super cute and great for capturing photo memories Highly recommend for anyone wanting to find a sensory class for their young one, we’ve just booked on for the next season we love it that much! Thank you Rachel!”

“One of the best baby and toddler classes around, Jen is brilliant with the babies and my son and I love going I can't recommend them enough!”

“We have been going to baby sensory Tameside with Sarah since our little boy was 6 weeks old and is now 9 months! I can hands down can say he has developed into such a social little boy because of this class! It’s so engaging and every week is different and structured so well! Would recommend this to anybody!”

“We have been attending bloom for approximately 6 months and in that time my little girl has learnt so much from these classes. Rachel the session leader is very friendly and full of knowledge, my little girl struggled with interacting with certain objects in these classes and Rachel shared her experiences on how to desensitise her with has worked amazingly.”

“Me and my little girl have been coming to the bloom classes for the last 8 months, she absolutely loves the classes, the music and all the toys to play with. Emma is great with all the babies, we really look forward to our Wednesday mornings.”

“We've been coming here since my baby was 5 weeks old (he's now 6 months). It's a brill class, with some veeeery catchy songs that you will find yourself singing at random intervals as you go about your day to day life! If your baby needs feeding/changing/a nap, the class is quiet enough to be able to do those things uninterrupted, but is also lively enough to keep the other babies well entertained. We're now booked on for our fourth term after easter, which will be our first in the older babies class. Looking forward to what the new class brings!”

“The best sensory class there is! I should know, I have tried them all. Jen is incredible and makes every baby & parent feel so welcomed. The class has such a wide variety for learning new skills and accommodates a wide age bracket. We love you adventure babies & Jen xx”

“We’ve been going with my LB since he was a teeny baby and he loves the classes! He has learnt so much and he has developed so much in every way. He’s so much more confident and love going to this class. I’m gutted this is his last term and I know we will both miss it! I can’t recommend it enough!”

“We have loved the summer term at Bloom! My daughter has developed so much in such a short period of time. She now recognises and gets excited when she hears all the songs. Her favourite is the rainbow parachute!”

“I started bloom when my baby was 8 weeks old and we’ve loved every session since. He’s now 8 months old and in the next class up and absolutely loves it. Rachel is amazing, she’s so lovely and welcoming and makes the classes really enjoyable.”

“Jen is perfect for the job. So enthusiastic and friendly. Great balance of story and play. Looking forward to coming back for another term.”

“What a fantastic class! Sam has been wonderful. She makes such a welcoming and safe environment. My son has been attending since he was 4 months old and I have been able to see his development within the classes so clearly, they definitely had a huge impact. 100% would recommend.”
