The IAIM Baby Massage course is for babies between the age of birth to 1 year. At Highbury Community Nursery, we use a small, cosy room for the session so if your baby is confidently crawling this course may not be as suitable. Our Sign & Learn Course is for babies from 6 months old.
Baby Massage focuses on massaging different areas of your baby’s body. There are many benefits to massage such as enhancing bonding, helping digestion and aiding relaxation. Sign and Learn is a fun singing session incorporating Makaton signs for families to use at home with their babies.
We use a small, cosy room, so we limit each Baby Massage course to 3 parents/carers and the Sign & Learn course to 6 parents. Baby First Aid is for 4 families of babies under 1 year old – babies are welcome!
You will be asked to pay for the whole Baby Massage and Sign & Learn course which is 5 weeks. If you are unable to attend a session, Zoom is available on request.
When booking, you will be asked for payment. You may cancel up until 1 week prior to the course, but after this time no refund will be given.
