Messy Play, Pilates & Connection: Mums & Bubs Sessions at Learning Blocks Dural

Articles

As parents, we know the juggling act is real. Between drop-offs, pickups, work commitments, and the never-ending to-do list at home, finding even a short moment to connect with your baby and other adults often feels like a luxury.

At Learning Blocks Dural, we believe that early learning experiences should nurture the whole family, not just the children in our care. That’s exactly why we’ve created Mums & Bubs at Learning Blocks Dural—a weekly session designed to bring together play, connection, and self-care for parents and little ones.

This isn’t just another class to fill your calendar. It’s a warm, inviting space where your child can explore through play while you enjoy a moment of rest, conversation, and gentle movement.

Sensory Fun with Messy Bubs Parramatta

Every session begins with a vibrant sensory play experience facilitated by the fantastic team at Messy Bubs Parramatta.

Sensory play is so much more than messy fun—it’s a cornerstone of Early Childhood Education. From the earliest months, babies and toddlers make sense of their world through touch, sound, smell, and movement. Providing them with safe opportunities to explore different textures, materials, and sensations helps their brains build vital connections, fosters independence, and encourages creativity.

Picture your little one squealing with delight as they squish gooey spaghetti, swirl colourful paints, or feel the crunch of dried leaves between their fingers. These playful activities aren’t just entertainment—they develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and even early problem-solving abilities.

At Learning Blocks Dural, we know mess can sometimes feel overwhelming at home. That’s why our Infant Sensory Room in Dural is set up as a completely mess-friendly zone. Here, your child has the freedom to splash, squish, and smear without any worry about the clean-up. You can simply watch their joy and curiosity unfold in a bright, safe, and stimulating environment.

A Moment of Coffee & Connection for You

While your baby is busy exploring their messy masterpieces, you’ll be able to take a seat, relax, and enjoy a freshly brewed coffee from our friends at Benzin Café. Having a hot drink without interruptions is already a treat, but the real magic happens when you connect with other mums going through the same stage of life.

Whether it’s sharing a funny story about sleepless nights, swapping tips about baby routines, or simply nodding along with someone who understands your challenges, these conversations can be incredibly uplifting. Our goal is to build a community where parents feel supported, valued, and seen.

Sometimes, what parents need most is not advice or instruction—it’s simply knowing they’re not alone. The Mums & Bubs sessions create that space for authentic connection, so you walk away feeling refreshed in more ways than one.

Relax & Recharge through Complimentary Pilates

We also recognise that parenthood takes a toll physically as well as emotionally. Carrying, nursing, rocking, and chasing after little ones can leave you feeling tense and drained. That’s why we’ve partnered with Santé Health to complete your session with a complimentary Pilates class just for Mums & Bubs.

This isn’t about pushing yourself through a high-intensity workout. Instead, it’s a gentle, post-natal friendly Pilates session designed to help you reconnect with your body. The exercises focus on strengthening your core, improving posture, and releasing the muscle tension that often builds up from repetitive daily tasks.

The beauty of this class is its accessibility—you don’t need to be “fit” or experienced in Pilates to join. It’s all about creating a calm, restorative moment where you can stretch, breathe, and focus on yourself without distractions.

And you don’t have to worry about your little one. While you take time for your own wellbeing, your baby will be cared for and engaged by our experienced Childcare Dural team in a nearby, safe environment. That means you can truly relax, knowing they’re happy and supervised.

Why Families Keep Coming Back

Families who join our Mums & Bubs sessions often tell us that the mix of structured play for children and self-care for parents is exactly what they were looking for but couldn’t find elsewhere.

For babies and toddlers, the sensory play is exciting, stimulating, and educational. For Mums & Bubs, the combination of coffee, conversation, and Pilates offers a unique blend of social connection and personal care. Together, it creates a routine that both parent and child look forward to every week.

These sessions aren’t just about passing the time—they’re about strengthening bonds, building community, and giving parents the tools and space they need to recharge.

Join Our Family

At Learning Blocks Dural, our philosophy has always been about supporting families as a whole. We know that when parents feel supported and cared for, children benefit too.

The Mums & Bubs sessions are our way of extending that care beyond the classroom and into family life. They’re not only a fun outing for your child but also a chance for you to step away from the endless responsibilities for a few hours and remember that you matter too.

We invite you to come along, meet other families, and experience a morning filled with discovery, connection, and renewal.

Come for the messy play. Stay for the coffee. Leave feeling stronger, lighter, and more connected.

After moving suburbs, it was so hard to find the right day care after leaving one we loved — and after attending another in the area we were not happy with, we finally found "the one!" From his first day, our son felt comfortable and settled in straight away, which gave us so much peace of mind. The educators are so caring and genuine, and the centre’s extra-curricular activities and one-of-a-kind preschool program are incredible. The centre is also very spacious and has beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. I highly recommend Learning Blocks Dural! Thank you Susie, Silvana and the whole team for creating such a beautiful and space space for children to thrive!

Moving from Tasmania and finding Learning Blocks Dural shortly after has been such a huge blessing. Very attentive staff who genuinely takes care of you as a family. Sylvana, Susie and all my educators have been so lovely to deal with. Always ready to answer any query and always so helpful.
My daughter now nearly 5 has attended many preschools in the past, but this one has been so easy to get adjusted to.
Highly recommend to anyone tossing the idea of daycare. You and your family will be well taken care of ❤️❤️

Our little one has been part of Learning Blocks for the past 2.5 years, starting at one year old. After visiting several centres, this one immediately stood out—it felt different in the best way.Under Susie’s leadership the centre has become a place where children and their parents are seen and supported. The educators are caring and passionate. They’ve helped our little one grow into a confident, curious, joyful little person,who made friends he can’t stop talking about.
What made it even more special were the thoughtful experiences woven into everyday life: visits from farm animals, emergency services, butterflies, science workshops, and sports. Each week brought something new, and our little one didn’t want to leave.
As parents, there’s no greater comfort than knowing your child is safe, happy, and thriving. That peace of mind is something we’ll always be grateful for. Leaving Learning Blocks due to relocation has been incredibly hard. We will miss it dearly and carry so many beautiful memories with us. To Susie and the entire team—thank you.

We love Learning Blocks!

After a bad experience at another childcare we so grateful to have found learning blocks. Susie, Silvana and the whole Leanring Blocks team not only welcomed my son but our whole family into the learning blocks community. Learning Blocks isn't just a childcare but a community of families brought together through child care. I love coming in for thoughtfully planned activities to connect the community together!
Since moving my son to Learning Blocks I have observed and identified big improvements in his separation anxiety, speech and cognitive abilities. He absolutely loves the daily incursions (especially the sport!) And Tuesdays catering by the Billy the Greek team. We love learning blocks!

Our kids are always excited to go, and it’s become like a second home for them. We couldn’t be happier with the love and care they receive every day
