Developmental baby class (suitable from birth to pre-walking). Formerly known as Sensory Explorers. Hi I’m Gem, the founder of Lovabelle (2015).

I’m a qualified Infant Massage and Baby Yoga Instructor and have worked in education for many years. I studied child development and have a great insight into babies brain development and the importance of early bonds and attachments with parents and caregivers. I left my job as a Tutor in August 2015 after my maternity leave ended and I made the decision to start up a gorgeous little business called Sensory Explorers. After 8 successful years and thousands of babies through our doors, it was time to expand and share our classes with others. We renamed the business Lovabelle which you now all know and love and now run a s a Franchise. I am so excited to meet all of you and your little ones to pass on my knowledge and share those magical moments with you and your baby. We are a Parent and Baby Group designed to encourage your babies physical and brain development. Babies are born with many sensory pathways in their brains which disappear if they are not reinforced. Lovabelle's carefully selected activities encourage the use of all babies senses (including their vestibular development which will improve balance) reinforcing those sensory pathways and helping little ones to develop and reach key milestones such as sitting, crawling and even talking. Our baby room at Lovabelle HQ is fully equipped with its own sensory area full of developmental equipment and sensory stations for babies to freely explore. The structured activities your baby will be introduced to include music & movement, messy play, action songs, massage / yoga, visual shows and much more fun! I am fully trained in Infant Massage & Baby Yoga, DBS checked, first aid trained and fully insured. Lovabelle is a proud member of The Children’s Activities Association giving you peace of mind that your baby is in the best hands. I hope to hear from you soon

💕👶What a gorgeous morning with our Tiny Lives Trust meet, chat & learn class 👶💕

For parents who’ve been through neonatal or special care, the journey can feel like no one else truly understands. But here, you’ll find others who do 🫶

Our Lovabelle sensory Tiny Lives classes bring together parents who’ve shared similar starts — offering a gentle space to bond with your baby, share experiences, and connect with others who just get it.

It’s not just about sensory (although there’s lots of it). It’s about feeling seen, supported, and surrounded by people who’ve been on a similar journey.

These classes are fully funded by Tiny Lives Trust for families who have spent time in the neonatal unit or transitional care and are a great way to meet other neonatal families. If you’d like to join us you can book your free classes by clicking this link https://shorturl.at/EkiD3

I can’t wait to welcome you 💜

Being a new mam is magical… but it can also feel a little overwhelming, can’t it? 💕

Our classes are a cozy space where you and your baby can slow down, breathe, and just enjoy each other. From the wonder in their little eyes as they discover new sights and sounds, to the snuggles you’ll treasure long after they’ve grown — these moments are all about connection.

And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone. You’ll be surrounded by other m**s (including me) who just get it, ready to share smiles, chats, and maybe even a few giggles on the tougher days. 🌸

Because this isn’t just a baby class. It’s a chance to build memories, friendships, and a little community for us m**s in South Tyneside 💛

This week our Baby Bunnies theme has been all about trust and connection 🐇✨

We’ve stripped everything right back – no big props, just the magic of bonding moments. Through gentle massage, positive touch, smiles, eye contact and playful peekaboo, your little ones are learning the most beautiful lesson of all, that you will always come back. 💞

Every cuddle, every giggle, every time you look at each other is helping to build a strong foundation of trust and love – and that’s what makes these early days so special. 🌸

Because babies don’t need “more”… they just need you. 💕
