Hi, I’m Alison and I’m absolutely delighted to welcome you to Little Bees with
Alison! Little Bees is founded and run by me, a mum of two and a primary school
teacher of over 16 years, with a huge passion for Early Years Development.
During my teaching career, I have specialised in and led Additional Learning
Needs and Foundation Phase across the school. I was also identified as an
‘Outstanding Teacher’ and was one of only 8 teachers to be selected across SE
Wales to particpate in an ‘Outstanding Teachers’ Programme. After a long battle
with infertility, I finally achieved my dream of becoming a Mummy when Joseph
was born in 2016. Three years later, we completed our family with Charlotte. I
absolutely love teaching and have often thought about other ways I could use my
skills whilst also having a positive impact on my local community. I had noticed
firsthand the lack of groups for new parents in my local area and the idea of
Little Bees started. Having experienced the impact massage had on my own little
ones and our bonding, this was something I was excited to share with other new
parents and carers. In 2019, I trained with Hands on Babies, the first UK baby
massage and baby yoga training organisation to have received accreditation from
the Royal College of Midwives for its courses. I enjoyed the massage course so
much that upon gaining accreditation, I immediately set to work on completing
the lovely yoga course! My mission with ‘Little Bees with Alison’ is to offer
friendly and relaxing classes for all parents and carers in a supportive and
non-competitive environment within their local community. As a new Mum, I was
desperate to not only do lovely activities with my baby, but I was also keen to
make new friends. This is exactly what I want to bring to my community with
‘Little Bees’. I completely understand the challenges new parents are going
through and thought of supporting them brings me great joy. I am fully insured,
DBS checked and have completed training to enable my classes to be
‘Covid-secure.’
