Established in 2015, SensoBaby aims to invest in the future by supporting families through the first five years of life. Raising children isn’t easy. It feels easier when you are supported by an understanding community and you have opportunities to play, bond and connect with your little ones.
We offer a range of programmes designed around the concepts of Infant Mental Health and Developmental Play. We equip families with the knowledge and support they need to help their children Thrive.
SensoBaby is proud of its professionalism and expertise. We call upon international best practice and engage in continuous research to ensure we are bringing you quality, evidence-based services.
Caroline Gartland
Director & Founder
As a mother of three I have always been looking for new ways to support my children through play. Play is my passion and I believe that the route to positive wellbeing is through positive, play experiences.
My career and background is in Mental Health and I hold a BA(hons) in Psychology and a MSc in Mental Health and Psychological Therapy. Since having children, I added to my training to focus on Infant Mental Health and Early Childhood Development.
I’m an accredited Babies in Mind Facilitator and part of a global team of infant massage instructors with Blossom and Berry. I am currently on a journey to become a qualified Play Therapist.
It’s a privilege to be able to support families through pregnancy and beyond.
*Caroline will be relocating to Cyprus in August, but continue as SensoBaby Director.
Cheralize Scholtz
Director
I am a mum of three and I’m driven to create awareness about sensory processing difficulties after having a premature baby with sensory needs.
I hold a B. Ed. Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood, Foundation Phase. I’d love to spread awareness about the importance of playful parenting and I’m always thinking of new and creative ways to play at home.
I have experience with children with additional needs; have completed training in Play Based Learning and Tummy Time, and I’m a certified Developmental Play Practitioner. I am also part of a network of play practitioners who have trained through UK based Occupational Therapist Carly Budd.
Bogadinyana Matlho
Facilitator
I am passionate about working with children and supporting families in the early years. I have experience and qualifications in Early Childhood Development and am currently studying play and sensory development.
I have been teaching Setswana for over three years and love being able to share my culture with others and promote the Setswana language.
I grew up as a sports person, loving sports from a very young age which is why I want to introduce a love of sports to children.
I have played rugby for over eight years now and now work as a children’s coach, player and match official.
