Babyzone Academy
Grow your practice. Grow your impact.
The Babyzone Academy is our digital home for early years professionals
A flexible, joyful space to build confidence, share great practice, and help children thrive.
Built in partnership with Hive Learning, the award-winning social learning platform, the Babyzone Academy will deliver Babyzone’s own curricula, includingEveryday Maths and Babyzone NEST (Name, Empathise, Self-Regulate, Team-up), alongside leading partner programmes from across the sector.
The result is a single, stimulating learning environment where early years practitioners can explore the best ideas from Babyzone, and important early years organisations, such as The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood (and their Explainer Series), and other evidence-based initiatives, all within one engaging, mobile-first space.
Why the academy
By embedding our own and our partners’ best curricula in a single, connected platform, the Babyzone Academy ensures that great ideas spread fast - from national partners to local playrooms.
It enables every practitioner - from a volunteer in Birmingham, England to a nursery lead in Birmingham, Alabama - to learn, share, and grow together, building collective confidence day by day.
Together, the Babyzone Academy and Hive Learning make the Babyzone flywheel spin faster - fuelling confident practice, joyful learning, and thriving children everywhere.

What families say about our classes
Babyzone has been the best thing for us. My child has learned to share, play and be more independent and even started building confidence and learning English. At home we now do activities like building blocks and football that were inspired by Babyzone. As a Romanian family, the support has been vital. We’ve loved the sensory classes, making friends and seeing other mums in the same boat. Parent, Babyzone Barnet
My child loved Mini Professors and even started recognising words. I’ve also appreciated meeting other parents and how welcoming it is for non-English speakers. I just wish Babyzone could run more than once a week – it’s so popular. Parent, Babyzone Barnet
We started going to Reading Fairy because one of the Babyzone staff said it was a good class for making reading fun… Now J is saying the first sounds in words, asking me to read him books at home and making up his own stories. J's mother, Babyzone Hammersmith & Fulham
Maths opened a life‑changing opportunity for me. For my son, I want the same, so he can have a brighter future. Parent, Babyzone Hammersmith & Fulham
I’m excited about Everyday Maths - you need maths in everything. This helps children become more confident and familiar with numbers. Mother, Babyzone Hammersmith & Fulham
Reading Fairy has had a massive impact on her reading journey. Babyzone is, and always will be, our Wednesday routine, our favourite day of the week. Carly, Babyzone Barking & Dagenham
