Each week our classes have a different theme which include a wide range of activities and props designed to help stimulate baby's senses. From parachutes, balloons, bubbles and light shows to puppets, baby signing and songs and games to try at home, each session is different so there's something new every week for a whole year.
Our weekly Baby Sensory classes offer a world full of exciting experiences for babies from birth up to 13 months which give everyone a wonderful sense of wellbeing. Backed by over 35 years of research, Baby Sensory was the first (and original) baby programme to offer a complete approach to learning and sensory development. What makes us unique is that every activity has been carefully designed to stimulate your baby's senses and move development and learning forwards, creating a wonderful time of sensory exploration for you and your baby to share during that precious first year.

Q: What if my baby sleeps or feeds during the session?
: Our classes are completely baby led. This means if they need to feed, sleep or need a cuddle that is absolutely fine. You are more than welcome to breast or bottle feed your baby where ever you want to at any point in the class. Likewise if your baby falls asleep, stay where you are or move across to a chair. Baby will take in at least 80% of surrounding stimuli while they’re asleep so they will still benefit from sounds, smells, touch and your amazing cuddles while you can take in all the information and ideas ready for when baby is awake and ready to play.
