What is the aim of the tummy time instructor course?

The tummy time instructor training course is designed to provide practitioners with the knowledge and teaching ability to safely and effectively deliver tummy time sessions and courses to parents and babies within a variety of individual and group settings both face to face and virtually. This will also include being able to deliver online sessions to parents and babies.

What age of babies are the sessions suitable for?

Tummy time can be used from birth and on into the Early Years. We find that most parents attend classes with their babies from around 3 weeks weeks old up until the babies are rolling (around 5 months). Although the techniques can be used from birth as well as with older babies and toddlers, the above is usually typical of a tummy time class or session.

Who can train as a tummy time instructor?


You will need to be experienced in just one of the following:

• Qualified childcare practitioner such as a nursery nurse (Level 3 or above)
• Infant massage instructor
• Baby yoga instructor
• Health care worker (nurses, health visitors and midwives)

The course assumes that participants will have previous knowledge in child development and teaching groups as well as your own insurance or the ability to obtain it.

I have really enjoyed the course so far! i have genuinely learnt so much already and its widening my knowledge on tummy time altogether. i really enjoyed learning everything in module 4 as it gives you an insight to the things that potentially can happen when there is a lack of tummy time >

I really liked learning the new techniques using clear videos in particular how to use a ball for encouraging tummy time >

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and I really appreciated how quickly Jessica responded to my questions.>

The best part of the course was the understanding of Tummy Time, and knowing what to do with the varying ages>
