Bloom’s Outdoor Baby & Toddler Groups
We are so excited to announce that we are starting new outdoor baby and toddler groups at Big Bloom, starting in April 2024. We are running two groups a week - Bloom Seedlings for Mums & babies and Bloom Saplings for Mums & toddlers.
Bloom Seedlings
An outdoor group for mums and babies from newborn up to pre-walking.
Join us at Big Bloom, our community garden at Heeley & Meersbrook Allotments which is home to an orchard, woodland, planted beds and plenty of space to relax, explore and play. These sessions focus on the safe introduction to outdoor play from an early age, where both babies and caregivers can enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of being outside.
Come and connect with nature through nature based crafts and activities, and create friendships within the parenting community. Build your confidence to safely spend time with your baby outdoors and experience all the sensory delights that exploring the outdoors brings.

Dates: Thursdays 18th & 25th April and 2nd, 16th & 23rd May 2024 (please note there is no session on Thursday 9th May)
