Hi, I’m Katie, the proud owner of Baby Sparks Mansfield & Surrounding Areas!
I’m mum to two wonderful boys, Henry (born November 2018) and Jude (born October 2022). Before launching Baby Sparks, I spent over 15 years working as a qualified Key Stage 2 teacher. However, once I became a mum myself, I discovered a real passion for early years development and supporting children in those precious first years of life. With my second child, that passion grew into a love for sensory play and understanding how these experiences can support babies’ and toddlers’ growth, learning and development.
I first discovered Baby Sparks when another activity class leader recommended it to me. Henry was just six weeks old when we attended our very first class! I instantly fell in love with the music, the energy, the creative themes and the thoughtful explanations behind every sensory activity. It quickly became the highlight of our week, and I was so excited to return again with Jude a few years later. Our favourite part? Always the parachute and bubbles!
