About

Sarah Savill

Hello there – I’m Sarah, I live in the Folkestone area and I have a daughter who is now in her teens, which means I know all about the joys and challenges that parenthood can bring.

I have been facilitating antenatal courses throughout Kent for the NCT for over 10 years and running baby massage courses for over 6 years. I am a paediatric first aid trainer and infant sleep consultant. I also developed and ran my own version of sensory classes for babies and preschoolers called Feel a Fairy Tale for 4 years and these are now available online at www.thesensoryclass.com.

When my daughter was little I remember being a bit nervous about walking through the door to various groups and baby classes. I was sometimes a little worried that I wouldn’t find anyone to talk to and often I didn’t know where I could change a nappy and what on earth I was supposed to do if my daughter started crying loudly!!

I set up Blue Kangaroo Baby Classes in 2014 to offer parents a selection of enjoyable, interactive and professionally run courses. My associate partner Pippa and I make every effort to ensure that the parents who come along to any of our sessions are made to feel welcome and have fun.
