The essence of Awe & Wonder Classes

My classes are planned to ensure your baby's nervous system is well cared for. You are the light of your baby's world and it's about you bonding with baby through love and connection.

We understand that babies brains develop when their needs are met, they are feeling calm and safe, with nurturing touch and sensory integration.

Awe & Wonder strives for excellence - you'll only find calming and developmentally appropriate classes to enjoy!

In Your Home 121s

We had such a wonderful 1:1 experience with Kimberly; calm, child-led and informative. My daughter is a pre-term baby and after having spent 2 months in hospital has negative and traumatic experiences of touch. My husband and I were worried about how she'd respond to an inital baby class and didnt want to overwhelm her. Kimberly's bespoke workshop offered us support and reassurance and showed us practical ways to help our daughter. Now we're able to bath and touch her legs without the look of pure fear and without screaming. We throughly enjoyed the experience and our daughter continues to make progress. From the bottom of my heart thank you ♥️ Kate

Sensory & Messy Play

Babies need authentic play opportunities. Our sensory classes are designed to gently support your baby's development to happen naturally without overloading their senses from 8 weeks to confident walking.

We use high quality, natural and open ended resources to support their curiousity about their world and develop their attention, concentration, awe & wonder through uniterupted, baby led play.

Tuesdays @ Freedom Cafe, Great Barton with Rachel Hughes

Our calm and inviting environment includes discussion time for parents to get to know each other more, circle time themed play and sensory sensations set up around the room to develop each of their seven senses. You also have time to chat to other mums around the room and build new friendships.

'I’ve done two terms with my little boy who is now 7 months. We’ve tried several different baby classes but this is far the best one.

Rachel is amazing and the classes are always so different. My little boy loves the messy play part and

it’s great that I haven’t got to clean up afterwards!!' Emma

Just when you've got the hang of nappy changes, how to operate the buggy and getting dressed before midday, someone asks you 'when are you going to start giving them some food', or even suggesting that a bit of baby rice in the evening might help them sleep (research says no).

​

When you start to look into it all it can seem daunting and overwhelming. Different websites recommending different things. Complicated schedules. Jars that say 4 months, health visitor that says 6. Baby led weaning, purees, snacks, drinks, ....... arrrrgggghhhhh!! What to do?! What's right? There are more questions than answers.

​

When should you start? Does it matter which meal? How can you tell they are ready? What if they sleep through a meal time? What food should you start with? Does it matter if it is sweet or savoury? What foods should be avoided? What about spices? What happens to the milk? How do you get the balance right? What equipment do you need? Can you avoid a fussy eater? How do you avoid some of the issues around food that you may have? What about allergies? What the heck is baby led weaning? Can you combine approaches? What about choking?

​

This course will answer all your questions, leaving you feeling confident, relaxed, and even excited about your baby's next step. I am going to keep it simple, with a focus on your individual baby, and their physical development. It is your baby. I will give you the information and you can make up your mind what to do.

My number one message is: don't worry! You almost can't get it wrong.

Available as a recorded workshop by myself which includes everything you need for a chilled and enjoyable weaning journey.

Sometimes it runs as a live workshop on a weekend, take a look at www.bookwhen.com/aweandwonderbabyclasses

"I have just done this "starting solids" workshop with Kimberley Goldsmith on Zoom along with my NCT friends, and I would highly recommend it to other parents. It is so helpful, so informative and a brilliant workshop where there is plenty of time to discuss, share thoughts and ask questions, as well as being provided with so much useful information. It really has made me feel more prepared and have a lot more understanding about weaning. We have previously done some other weaning courses, and this was soooooo much better!! If you are a bit unsure - it is well worth doing this one! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" Kate

Soft Play & Sensory Play Party Hire!

My Soft Play & sensory Play hire has now been running successfully for over a year and I've had the pleasure of helping so many Babies and toddlers enjoy their celebrations whether it's a first or second birthday party or a naming ceremony.

My third child, Addilyn, inspired this branch of my business - I didn't want a generic soft play party for her and noone else offered anything more at a great value price, so I just decided it was easier to start my vision myself!

My set up is the pastel rainbow soft play set alongside Montessori wooden climbing and balancing equipment, dark den, music tent, sensory toys, Hoppers, ride ons, stapelstein pebbles, dry messy play and so much more!

I have an incredible inventory of play! It's not just about the soft play but the extra attention to detail with my sensory play. I offer so much more than other local businesses, offering you excellent party value. All of my equipment is outstanding and brand named - only the best, I truly am SO proud of the fun created!

Please do contact me at

awe-wonder@hotmail.com or 07815122342 to check your date and location as I do get very booked up in advance. I need at least an hour either side of your party to set up and tidy up and

Choose a Sunday afternoon at Thurston Cavendish Hall and get even more equipment and your hall hire included in the price!! As I only live round the corner I can bring even more to the party and I will run my loved Toddler Soft Play & Sensory Play Date in the morning.

Weekend Soft Play

& Sensory Fun!

But if there isn't a party to be planned you don't need to miss out! Every month I hold my Sunday Play Days. With new soft play to the mix means from active crawling ro 2.5 years can come along and enjoy the hall full of fun including a playdough table by Little Munchkins and craft table. These are held at Cavendish Hall, Thurston and are open to both parents to attend with refreshements! Spaces fill quickly as these are so popular to allow our walkers somewhere calmer, safer and cleaner to explore and play.

Meet the Team

Kimberley founded Awe & Wonder in 2016 as her

little boy Oliver turned a year old and she left teaching to

create a home -life balance and to support Mum's on their own transition into Motherhood. Kimberley was an Early Years Leader and teacher for 8 years and has no regrets taking the risk to nurture her business.

Bonding through play and nurturing touch has always been her passion. She continues to strive to create the most beautiful classes and circles for parents and babies and is continuing their journey to become a 1-1 coach for well-being and breathwork.

She now has now two

girls. Emalyn born in lockdown as a home birth on her birthday and Addilyn who is now 2 years old. And she home educates her children alongside a wonderful community.

Rachel has her two boys, Barnaby & Boden, who both attended the sensory & messy play classes with Kimberley. She has created outstanding play, supported parents and has a passion for Early Years since her work at Nurseries and Children's Centres. Rachel joined the team in 2022 and runs my Sensory & Messy Play classes at Great Barton, Freedom Cafe on Tuesdays. I will forever be grateful to Rachel for taking over these classes for me, as it meant I could attend with my third baby Addilyn and we absolutely LOVED them! (Of course!)
