Located on a quiet square just off Kensington Church Street, the Baby Spa by Laura Sevenus is tucked away neatly from the hustle and bustle of Central London. On my daily coffee run, I walked past it a couple of times before I eventually went in to figure out what’s it all about.

I have to admit to having been a little suspicious at first. A spa for babies… not the most obvious thing, but once I had learned more about it, I was intrigued.

In brief words: it’s hydrotherapy for babies. It’s beneficial to the mental and physical development of babies. It’s soothing, it’s gentle and above all, it’s a lot of fun.

I bought the Pea a voucher for Christmas. It turned out to be the perfect present for a baby who lives in hand-me-downs from her bigger sister. Something special just for her and mummy to enjoy.

The Pea floated and paddled happily in the baby pool for 30 minutes before she was gently lifted out, wrapped in warm towels and massaged with great care. She loved every moment of it and so did I.

The only downside to it all is that they only take babies up to six months of age. We should have gone earlier…
