What is Boyne Babies?
Boyne Babies is a sensory-based baby class designed to support early development through play, music, movement, and exploration. It’s also a welcoming space for parents to relax, connect, and build community.
Who runs the classes?
Boyne Babies was founded by two local mums, Aoife and Fiona.
Aoife brings a background in Early Years Education and a passion for learning through play.
Fiona has experience in the mental health sector and focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment for parents.
Where are classes held?
All classes are held weekly at the Julianstown Community Centre, in a warm, relaxed setting perfect for babies and parents.
What age are the classes suitable for?
Our sensory classes are designed for babies from around 6 weeks to pre-walking. If you’re unsure whether your baby is the right age, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help!
What happens in a class?
Each class includes a mix of sensory play, music, movement, textures, lights, and baby-friendly props. Every week follows a different theme to keep things fresh, fun, and developmentally rich.
How do I book a class?
You can book directly through our website: boynebabies.ie/classes
Or feel free to message us on Instagram or by email with any questions.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just bring yourselves, your usual baby essentials (nappies, bottle, etc.), and a blanket for your baby to lie on. We’ll provide everything else.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, classes usually fill quickly — but feel free to contact us in case there’s availability. We’ll always do our best to accommodate you.
What do parents do during the class?
Parents are involved in the sensory activities, helping their babies explore and engage — but there’s no pressure. Towards the end of each class, we invite you to enjoy a tea or coffee and some time to chat and connect with others.
I’m a new parent and nervous about joining a group — what’s the vibe like?
We totally understand — and that’s exactly why Boyne Babies exists. Our classes are warm, inclusive, and relaxed. There’s no judgment here, just a space to breathe and connect.
Can I bring an older sibling?
Yes, you’re welcome to bring a sibling! Just be sure to select the ticket with an additional sibling when booking so we can plan accordingly.
