Nice to Meet You!
Hi, I’m Stacey! Becoming a mum was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, but it also opened my eyes to the importance of community and support for parents and caregivers.
While attending baby groups, I found some to be fantastic, but others lacked a true sense of connection. I wanted something more, a space where families could bond, share experiences, and build lasting friendships.
I fell in love with sensory play after attending a course with my own baby. I was fascinated by how it engaged little ones, encouraged their development, and created beautiful bonding moments between child and caregiver. That experience ignited a passion in me to create something of my own.
With a background in sensory-based activities, including working with people living with dementia, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how meaningful, hands-on experiences can benefit people of all ages. Now, I want to bring that same joy, creativity, and connection to babies, toddlers, and the people who care for them.
Thrive and Bloom isn’t just about attending a class - it’s about joining a community where children can flourish, parents and caregivers can connect, and everyone feels supported.
Thrive & Bloom
Thrive and Bloom was created with one goal in mind. To provide a warm, welcoming space where little ones can learn through sensory play and movement, and where parents and caregivers can connect, support each other, and build lifelong friendships.
Our baby sensory play and toddler music & movement classes are designed to encourage exploration, creativity, and confidence. Through hands on activities, music, and movement, children develop fine and gross motor skills, independence, and self-expression, all while having fun!
But Thrive and Bloom is about more than just play. It’s about community. Becoming a parent or caregiver can be overwhelming, and having a supportive network makes all the difference. That’s why our classes are built around a “we’re in this together” mentality, ensuring that families leave not just with happy little ones but with new friendships and a sense of belonging.
Whether you’re here for the sensory magic, the bonding time, or the chance to meet others, Thrive and Bloom is a place where you and your child can grow, connect, and truly thrive.
The Name
Every parent shares the same hope, to see their child thrive and blossom in to a confident, independent little person. That vision is what inspired the name. The logo, featuring two bears (Mama/Papa & Baby bear) is a special little nod to my son, who we call Teddy (Bear).
