For new parents, finding ways to bond with your baby, support their milestones and meet other families can feel overwhelming. That’s where our baby classes come in. Here at Balance & Beam, we’ve created a safe, nurturing space for babies to roll, crawl and climb their way through those all-important early years.
Small routines lead to BIG changes
Incorporating a weekly gymnastics session into your baby’s routine can make all the difference to their life, as well as yours. Our baby classes in Stoke blend structure with fun to gain the most out of building positive habits and regular routines – that you’ll want to stick to!
Exercise can be a powerful tool to help children develop self-regulation skills as well as promoting emotional development, improved focus and enhanced overall wellbeing. Our baby classes develop your little one’s physical, social and emotional development, helping them be more self-assured and prepared for the next big step in their little life.
From the moment your baby starts to wriggle and babble, they’re growing new skills at lightning speed. And structured baby classes are an essential tool for helping your baby develop:
- Physical skills like strength, balance and coordination
- Social skills through early interaction with other babies and adults
- Emotional confidence by exploring new spaces and experiences with you close by
Essentially, our baby classes help build better motor skills, faster language development and stronger bonds with their caregivers. Explore all our Parent & Child classes here.

Why Balance & Beam
We’re here to support you in raising your adorable little one and ensuring the healthiest, happiest and most rewarding start during their critical formative years. And your child is welcome to join us at any age or time.
Even the shyest children have overcome their fear of failure and some of the liveliest have channelled their energy into a positive outcome. They progress in leaps and bounds through motivation, physical motor skill development and cognitive learning.
Learning essential life skills, such as turn-taking, sharing and following instructions encourages healthy habits, respect for others and builds self-confidence. Blending gymnastics-led activities with life skills is a fun, exciting way for your little one to flourish.
Why parents in Stoke-On-Trent choose us
Balance & Beam has been supporting local families since 2006. And it’s because our gym is a safe, inspiring environment where every baby can hit key milestones, where every parent can feel supported and where friendships flourish – just like Natasha has experienced:
“Balance & Beam has been amazing for our daughter. She’s become more confident, more mobile and we have fully embraced riskier play. The coaches are so knowledgeable and really friendly, they are super supportive with new mums and babies and go above and beyond to ensure you’re feeling welcome and comfortable. We started right away when she was just 4 months and intend to stay there for as long as possible – it’s our favourite time of the week!”
