Free 5-Week Baby Massage Course

Nurtured @ Shiregreen is running a free five-week baby massage course starting Tuesday 3 November, with sessions every Tuesday morning from 11am to 12pm. It runs for five weeks, so you'll be there on 3, 10, 17 and 24 November, and then one last time on 1 December.

The course is built around giving you and your baby a calm, relaxing hour together each week. Over the five sessions, you'll be introduced to gentle baby massage techniques that can help support relaxation, ease wind and discomfort, and encourage bonding. It's a slow-paced way to get to know your baby's cues and find a rhythm that works for both of you.

Beyond the massage itself, the sessions double as a social space. It's a chance to meet other parents and carers living in the local area, so if you've been spending most of your time at home lately, it's a good excuse to get out and have a chat with people in the same boat. The social side is as much a part of the five weeks as the massage is.

Places are free, though they are limited, and when you book, your spot is reserved for the full five-week course rather than just a single drop-in. The sessions take place at Nurtured @ Shiregreen (Nurtured Childcare), 551 Bellhouse Road, Shiregreen, Sheffield S5 0ER, every Tuesday from 11am to 12pm, starting 3 November.
