Why Baby Sparks Is Evolving – And What’s Coming Next for 2026

At Baby Sparks, we’ve always believed that community changes everything. From those first tiny baby sessions on the mat, through to confident toddlers leaping into Movers, our work has always been rooted in connection, confidence and real human support. But over the past year, something else has become increasingly clear…

Parents are more overwhelmed than ever before.

Social media is overflowing with advice. Some of it helpful. Much of it conflicting. And so many parents are left second-guessing themselves in the very season when they most need reassurance, grounding and calm.

And that’s where our next chapter begins...

Our Baby Massage Course – Now Stepping Into Its Own

We are incredibly excited to share that our revised Baby Massage Instructor Course has now been submitted for CPD accreditation – something we’ve poured months of expertise, experience and care into.

This is more than just an update. It’s a strengthening of everything we stand for:

• Evidence-informed practice

• Deep respect for parent intuition

• Confidence-building, not fear-driven teaching

• Connection first, always

  
  

And for the first time, this course will be available not only to Baby Sparks franchisees – but also to anyone who dreams of qualifying in baby massage and becoming self-employed, without committing to a full franchise. Because at our core, we are about supporting women into flexible, meaningful work that fits around their lives.

Why We’re Creating the Roots Course

Alongside baby massage, we’ve been quietly developing something entirely new: Roots – a fourth trimester course for brand new parents.

Those early weeks after birth are profound. Emotional. Exhausting. Transformational. And yet… so many parents feel like they’re expected to just “figure it out” alone.

Roots is being created to meet parents:

• In the fog

• In the tears

• In the tiny, sacred, overwhelming moments of new motherhood

It will offer:

• Real, in-person connection

• Nervous system regulation for both baby and parent

• Practical support without judgement

• A safe space for questions, uncertainty and confidence-building

  
  

To our knowledge, this kind of offering doesn’t yet exist in the UK in this way – and that’s exactly why we feel called to create it.

A Natural Evolution

From the very beginning, Baby Sparks has evolved alongside families. As our babies grew, so did our programmes. And now, as we listen closely to what modern parents truly need, it feels natural – and necessary – to step even earlier into the journey.

From the fourth trimester… through babyhood… through toddlerhood and beyond. As a business, we are always growing, refining, and asking: How can we serve families better? How can we support women more deeply? How can we create genuine community in an increasingly digital world?

2026 is shaping up to be our most meaningful chapter yet and we are only just getting started.
