Gentle Beginnings
These popular groups are a beautiful, calm supportive space to nourish your relationship with your new child, under the gentle guidance of holistic Early Years specialist, Dorothy Marlen.
Here you can relax in an unhurried and natural approach to parenting which respects the individuality of each child while helping you build confidence and form new friendships at the same time.
Babies are free to explore and move through all the motor development stages at their own pace – with lots of interesting things to discover in a room expertly equipped with carefully chosen natural toys and sensory equipment.
Each session ends with learning new songs, rhymes and lullabies to take home with you and there are always hot and cold drinks and home-made cakes and biscuits available at the beginning of each session.
“Thank you ever so much for such a nourishing and profound experience which we shall never forget.”
“We are so grateful for all the wisdom you have shared with us.”
“What a wonderful time we have had!”
Our practice is based on the understanding of child development given to us by Rudolf Steiner and Emmi Pikler with groups kept small (8 parents maximum). Places are always in high demand so please book early!
Groups run:
Mondays: 12.15-1.45
Wednesdays: 9.45-11.15 and 12-1.30
More groups are being added all the time so please contact Dorothy directly to find out availability.
Sessions cost £9.50 with the first one a free taster session. Payment is half-termly in advance.
