Can you believe how quickly we’re galloping through the year already? If you thought you have had a busy month February is going to be no different. There are some great events happening all over Gabs. We’ve come up with a list to make things easier for you of what’s on.
SensoNana
Friday 1st of February
Sensobaby
SensoBaby runs classes for the under 5s. SensoNana is one of the sensory classes for nurturing newborns to 6 months old babies. It stimulates, educates and provides precious bonding experiences during the all-important first months of life. It is also designed to support new mothers learning to cope with the pressures of being a first-time parent. The class starts at 9:30 am.
Although SensoBaby runs classes throughout the week we included this one because parents are welcome to stay and join CUPPA LOVE. This could be a great morning out for you if you’re a new mum.
