About this event

Baby Pips is our friendly, playful monthly group for babies aged 0–2 and their grown-ups, held at the History Store (formerly the Museum Resource & Learning Centre) in Hereford. Designed to support early development through sensory experiences, movement, and connection, each session offers a gentle and engaging environment for you and your baby to explore the world together.

Whether you're navigating tummy time, starting to crawl, or already toddling, Baby Pips provides a relaxed and welcoming space to enjoy quality time with your little one.


👶Monthly Themes:

14 April: Things that make noise

12 May: Things that sparkle

9 June: Things that splash

8 September: Things that open


What to Expect:

🧸 Sensory Play
We set up a range of sensory zones using light, sound, texture, and colour to stimulate your baby's developing senses. Every session is themed to keep things fresh and fun, with safe, baby-friendly materials.

📚 Storytelling and Songs
We share simple stories, rhymes, and songs to support early language development and bonding. You're welcome to join in or just enjoy the moment with your baby.

👶 Age-Appropriate Activities
From tummy time mats to exploratory toys and themed props, our activities are tailored to suit a range of developmental stages within the 0–2 age range.

A Space for Grown-Ups Too
Meet other parents and carers, share experiences, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.


Why Baby Pips?

Early childhood is a time of incredible growth, and Baby Pips is all about nurturing that journey—with creativity, curiosity, and care. You don’t need to bring anything but yourselves (and maybe your changing bag!)—we’ll provide everything you need for a joyful, sensory-rich morning.
