Meet the founder

Hello, I'm Ali!

Founder of Little Froggies and mum to four, foster mum to one, I'm also a nanny to my little grandaughter & step-mum to my 2 bonus daughters, I completely understand how wonderfully messy little ones can be. I started these classes because I know first-hand how magical — and important — sensory play is in those precious early months.

How Little Froggies Began

When my first baby was born, I searched everywhere for a class that felt warm, unhurried, and genuinely focused on what babies need — not just a tick-box activity. I couldn't find quite what I was looking for, so I trained as a sensory play specialist and created it myself.

I did my training whilst I was the assistant manager at Leek Play Hub, I specialised in SEN and babies. I'm also a qualified Baby Massage & Reflexology practioner.

What We're All About

Baby-led exploration

We follow your baby's lead. There's no right or wrong way to play — every squish, splash, and stare is learning in action.

100% safe materials

Every single thing we use is non-toxic, edible-safe, and thoroughly tested. Babies explore with their mouths — we've thought of everything.

Small, cosy groups

We cap every session at 8 babies so you get a personal, relaxed experience — not a chaotic free-for-all.

Community & connection

New parenthood can feel isolating. Little Froggies is as much about parents finding their people as it is about babies finding their feet.
