A BABY classes business serving Newent and the Forest of Dean has been named the Best Children's Business in the 2026 Muddy Stilettos Awards.

Mama & Me, founded by Kayleigh Spencer-Tonks, took the regional title after receiving support from customers and the local community.

The business offers baby massage, baby yoga, reflexology, sensory story sessions, a social club for parents and a luxury baby spa, with classes held across Gloucester, Cheltenham, Newent and the Forest of Dean.

The Muddy Stilettos Awards celebrate outstanding independent lifestyle businesses across England, Scotland and Wales, with winners chosen following public nominations and voting.

The awards ceremony took place earlier this month, recognising businesses that have made a positive impact in their communities and industries during the past year.
