Our Story

Step into the enchanting world of StarBubs, where melodies dance and imaginations soar! 

I'm Melody, a devoted mummy, a passionate educator, and the creative force behind this captivating journey. Join me as I unveil the heartfelt tale of how StarBubs came to life, brimming with wonder, joy, and the boundless dreams of little ones.

In 2019, a beautiful new chapter unfolded in our lives as my husband and I welcomed our daughter into the world. As first-time parents, I found myself transitioning from my career as a Primary School Teacher to embark on an exciting journey of motherhood. Taking a step back from the classroom, I eagerly embraced the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the world of parenting and devote my time to nurturing our precious baby girl. Little did I know that this transformative experience would lay the foundation for something truly special - the birth of StarBubs.

Shortly after, I ventured out of the house to meet other parents and attended various baby classes with our daughter. However, I couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment as I discovered a repetitive cycle of sameness. Week after week, it was the same songs, the same predictable routines, and the same uninspiring equipment. It left me longing for something more, a class that would ignite both my daughter's curiosity and my own. I yearned for a vibrant and welcoming environment that would captivate our senses, introducing us to a world of adventure filled with awe-inspiring sights, sounds, and colours.

Sadly, this was a sentiment shared by many other parents in our area. It became evident that the classes we were seeking were simply not available. But rather than dwell on this disappointment, we saw an opportunity - a chance to combine our unique backgrounds and expertise. Drawing from my experience as a dedicated educator fostering a love for learning in the classroom, and with my husband's technical education and wealth of knowledge, we embarked on a mission to create the very class we had been searching for. And so, StarBubs was born - a heartfelt endeavor to bring joy, wonder, and laughter to little ones and their families.

At the heart of our vision for StarBubs, we held steadfast beliefs that guided our every decision:

First and foremost, we were committed to ensuring that each and every StarBubs class would be a unique adventure, brimming with awe and wonder. Gone were the days of repetitive routines and predictable content. We wanted to take parents and children on a captivating journey, immersing them in vibrant themes that would ignite their imaginations and leave them longing for the next class.

Creating a warm and welcoming environment was paramount to us. We wanted every parent and child who stepped through our doors to feel embraced and at ease. Laughter, play, and the joyful melodies of music would fill the air, fostering a relaxed atmosphere where connections could be forged, friendships could blossom, and memories could be made.

Recognising the importance of age-appropriate activities and learning, we committed ourselves to tailoring each class to specific ages and milestones. From newborns to toddlers, every child would be met with experiences that perfectly suited their developmental needs. By carefully considering the unique stages and abilities of each age group, we aimed to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where growth and discovery could flourish.

Above all, our goal was to leave families amazed from start to finish. We wanted every moment of a StarBubs class to be filled with content and delivery that exceeded expectations. Our carefully curated programs, engaging instructors, and attention to detail were all designed to create lasting memories for both parents and children. We strived to craft an experience that would be cherished, and that would leave an indelible mark in the hearts of those who joined us on this extraordinary journey.

With these core beliefs driving us forward, StarBubs blossomed into a haven of enchantment, where dreams were nurtured, laughter echoed, and memories were woven into the very fabric of childhood.

With meticulous care and attention, we planned the creation of each theme, ensuring they would be adored by our families and bring a sense of adventure to life in every class. It was essential for us to offer themes that were truly unique and irresistibly appealing to young children. From the vibrant selection of handpicked equipment to the captivating setup, we left no detail unattended. Each item carefully chosen was intricately tied to the theme, bringing a sense of joy and wonder as children discovered new materials and objects each week. To add a personal touch, we even handcrafted some of our equipment, such as sewn parachutes and crocheted hats, adding an extra layer of love and care to the experience.

With our vision and themes in hand, we set out to deliver an unforgettable experience to the families in our hometown of Taunton, uniting them after the challenging times of lockdown. The response was nothing short of incredible. Word quickly spread about the magic of StarBubs, and our classes rapidly gained a reputation for their quality and innovation. The demand for our unique approach grew exponentially, prompting us to expand to two new locations before the end of our very first year in business. 

Throughout this journey, our hearts remained filled with love and passion for what we were creating. Every single second was a joyous celebration, as we witnessed families across the South West delighting in the magical world of StarBubs. 

The smiles, laughter, and precious moments shared within our classes continue to fuel our unwavering dedication to delivering an exceptional experience that will be cherished by families for years to come.

"Absolutely love Starbubs! we started when my little one was only 5weeks old and wondered if this was a bit early but it was great, I learnt how to interact and entertain my little one and she loved it right from the start! they have fantastic props and set up of different themes. as a first time mum it was a bit nerve wracking but I was pleasantly surprised at how welcoming, friendly and relaxed the group leaders are and have been enjoying it ever since! we always look forward to our next class. would definitely recommend"
