How much do the classes cost? Can I pay ad hoc?

We are not currently taking ad-hoc bookings. Classes are booked in termly blocks and you can join part way through the term (if there is space) and pay for the remaining sessions only. Each session costs £9.50 so a typical 7-week term will cost £66.50.

Do you offer taster sessions?

Please email for more information: bristolnorth@babysensory.co.uk

What do we need for the activities?

All props for activities are provided will be thoroughly cleaned between classes.

Do I need to bring anything to the sessions?

Please bring the following items:

• Socks for you to wear in class. Babies are not required to wear socks.
• Hand-sanitiser
• Change bag with spare nappies, nappy bags, clothing and wipes
• A blanket for your baby to lie on
• A toy for your baby to play with

What if I can’t make a session?

As per our terms and conditions, credits and refunds cannot be given for missed sessions. If you know you are unable to attend a session you can send a friend in your place. Your friend’s contact details must be sent by email prior to the class.

What happens if I or my baby is ill?

Anyone (Parent/baby/Class Leader) who is unwell or has a temperature must stay at home. Please notify your Class Leader immediately. Classes will not be run if your Class Leader is unwell. Make-up options or rescheduled classes will be considered if a replacement Class Leader cannot be found. Regrettably we cannot offer a refund for a lesson missed due to illness or holiday.

Is my baby too young? What age can we start attending?

Baby Sensory classes are suitable from birth, but I suggest you start coming when you feel ready to get out and about with your baby. The youngest baby to attend my classes was 6 days old and some people who start attending when their baby is 10 or 11months old regret not starting sooner.

I have twins, how does it work?

If you attend on your own with your babies, you will book one full price place for your first baby and one half price place for your second baby.

What are Baby Sensory’s Health and Safety Policies?

Baby Sensory follows rigorous internal checks of the venue and its own equipment to ensure that they are clean and safe. Daily Risk Assessments are conducted.

Baby Sensory asks all Parents and carers to remove their shoes while in class. Shoes need to be worn to visit the bathroom within class times and care exercised to avoid slips.

Are there toilet/nappy changing/washing facilities?

Toilets will be available for use at all venues.

Whilst nappy changing restrictions apply Parents will be asked to change their baby on their mat. Parents will need to bring their own nappy changing mat, wipes and hand sanitiser to class. Parents will be asked to take away soiled nappies for disposal at home. 

Can I bring someone with me to the class?

Yes with prior permission. Please email your Class Leader.

Can I bring my older child?

Due to health and safety and our insurance, siblings are unable to attend Baby Sensory sessions.

What if my baby sleeps?

Please don't worry if your baby falls asleep in class. Research shows babies retain 60% of stimuli whilst sleeping so they will still be benefitting from stimulation which will lead to new synaptic connections being formed in the brain. There will be plenty of ideas on how to play with and stimulate your baby to take home with you. As your baby matures their ability to stay awake increases until they can manage a whole class. The classes also provide a relaxed atmosphere to meet new Parents to share the ups and downs of Parenthood.
