You are your baby’s first teacher

You are your baby’s first teacher. You are his/her guide and he/she experiences the world through you. The most important thing a baby can recieve in the first years of life is love and responsive care. These are the foundations of physical and emotional health and wellbeing for life. Having a strong bond or secure attachment is vital for a baby’s development and so your presence, time and love are the greatest gifts you can share with your baby.

The importance of infant mental health is something we promote in all our classes and underpins all we do.

Here are a few of our favourite videos on why love matters for babies and why you are so important to your baby.
