What we do

Baby College is a warm and welcoming team of early development experts. We offer fun, engaging and educational parent and baby classes that support every aspect of a child’s development from birth to school age.

Our franchisees run a variety of age-specific classes in their local areas, helping parents and carers learn how to understand the development of their children and how to best support their little ones’ physical, cognitive, and emotional growth through play, music, movement, and gentle exercises.

We pride ourselves on helping families build strong bonds and confidence through evidence-based activities grounded in child development research.

Baby College is a well-established and trusted franchise in the UK for the past 25 years. Our flexible part-time or full-time model fits beautifully around family life and other commitments – making it a rewarding business with real impact

Baby College

Franchise Owner (Bea Waterfield)

Becoming a parent was completely life-changing for me. After the birth of my two children — especially my son, who arrived prematurely — I realised how little I really knew about early development, and just how important a parent’s role is. Like many new parents, I felt a mix of love, responsibility and uncertainty. I turned to books and wished there had been a class to guide and support me. When I discovered Baby College, it felt like everything I’d been searching for. I joined as a franchisee and soon became the owner. Since then, I’ve developed the programme, grown the franchise, and drawn on my background as a musician and science graduate from Oxford University.

I’m also proud to be part of a university-led research project that’s proven the benefits of Baby College for families.
