Nature Nurture

Nature Nurture is a unique parent and baby class offering the opportunity for parents/caregivers to connect with themselves, their babies, their community and nature. It is a class designed for you as a parent/caregiver to feel held, a space to spend quality time together and to switch off from our ever increasing busy lives, whilst also promoting simple and natural sensory experience for your baby. Classes provide focus on the parents wellbeing as research shows a babies wellbeing is significantly impacted by that of their parents. 

Our Nature Nurture classes are recommended for pre-movers. 

Nature Nurture provides a natural environment for you to draw upon your senses to provide you with a relaxed and calming class that supports you in nurturing your bond and connection with your beautiful baby

Classes are approx 1 hour long and include a range of activities & practices including:

 - mindfulness

 - gratitude practice

 - journaling 

 - movement including baby wearing dancing, nature walks and gentle stretching

It is recommended for health and safety reasons that for any walking aspects of the classes that babies are carried in a carrier or sling.  For our seated circle sessions prams etc can be used to access the woodland however are not suitable for sessions that include nature walks as unfortunately the woodland paths are not pram friendly. Please message or email us if you have any further questions regarding this prior to booking sessions.

One of the principles of Pip & Harris classes is to encourage parents/caregivers & babies to embrace and enjoy varying weather conditions and the sensory benefits they can provide. Therefore classes will take place as planned outside as much as possible, however our private venue offers sheltered facilities should we experience inclement or dangerous weather, enabling sessions to continue for the majority of the year regardless of weather conditions. 

Our venue also offers onsite free parking and toilet facilities along with a community farm & cafe for you to enjoy before or after sessions with your little ones. There is also Orrell water park very close by as well as a number of cafes locally for you to extend your stay together.
