Overview

Baby College is the original and leading parent and baby development and sensory program in the UK since its establishment in 2000. With a rich history rooted in empowering parents and backed by scientific research, Baby College is dedicated to providing quality early years educational classes and programmes.


Our founder Alison Lawson’s personal journey began as she sought to support her two sons dealing with dyspraxia and dyslexia. Through her own experiences, she recognized the significance of neurological developmental delays and their impact on learning. This realization drove her to train with Sally Goddard Blythe at the Institute of Neuro-Physiological Psychology (INPP) in Chester, UK, where she became an associate. Equipped with her expertise as a neurodevelopmental practitioner and qualified teacher, Alison dedicated herself to helping underachieving school-age children overcome developmental challenges.


Recognising the need for high quality and engaging parent and baby development classes, Alison established innovative mixed activity baby and toddler classes that employ specific movement routines to encourage correct early development along with a fun, holistic programme covering all the important EYFS areas of development . These innovative classes formed the core of Baby College as it is today, providing parents with a comprehensive program that nurtures and inspires both them and their babies.

Today, Baby College is headquartered in Oxford and boasts a network of franchisees and teachers who run over 200 classes each week, both in the UK and internationally. With its strong ties to Oxford University and Goldsmiths, Baby College remains committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and incorporating the latest scientific research.


Baby College’s dedication to excellence has earned recognition, including being featured by The Independent as the Best Baby and Toddler class for Parents during the challenging times of lockdown.

Bea’s commitment to excellence and continuous learning is exemplified by her collaboration with the Psychology Department at Goldsmiths University. In her role as a PhD supervisor, she contributes to The Little Seed Project, an exciting research project during which we are bringing beneficial classes to under-served communities. Aside from her professional achievements, Bea is a musician and a busy parent of two grown-up kids, four step kids, and a cheeky fluffy dog. Her passion though is supporting and inspiring all of the Baby College Family of parents, teachers and franchisees.

Drawing from her own transformative experiences as a parent, Bea understands the importance of providing a nurturing and enriching environment for both parents and children. Her warm and approachable nature, coupled with the expertise of the Head Office team, ensures that Baby College franchisees receive exceptional support and training.
