A mum of two young children who runs sensory classes in the Mansfield area has shared her “joy” at being nominated for a ‘Nottingham Baby and Toddler Rising Star Award’ by families who attend her classes.

Katie Bradley, 38, from Woodthorpe in Nottingham, has been running Baby Sparks Mansfield since January 2024.

Katie, a former primary school teacher with 15 years of experience, began running classes after being inspired by her time spent at sensory play with her two sons, who are now aged two and six.

“Without them, I would not be able to run the classes and have the time of my life in my ‘job’.

“To become a finalist is such a wonderful achievement after just over 12 months in the industry.”

Nottinghamshire’s Baby Sparks has been nominated for the title of 'Nottingham's Most Loved Activity Provider for Babies' and hopes to retain this award after winning it in November 2023.
