“Sam is out of this world, the babies are just fascinated and can’t keep their eyes off her. My son enjoys it so much and sleeps even better when we are walking home!”

FAQs
How do the classes work?
Baby Sensory classes will stimulate your baby in every way, crucial for your baby's development in these precious early stages, forming the foundation for future learning. Our structured classes are suitable for babies under 13 months with each class lasting 50 minutes. We always start with our signature song followed by carefully chosen activities, a short break is offered during the session giving babies a chance for some free playtime (following the play/rest/play cycle) and parents a chance to get to know those around them. We then come back together around the sensory area for more engaging activities and our calming 'wave goodbye' song.
Can I feed/change my baby during activities?
Yes of course! We want you and your baby to feel comfortable in class and encourage you to do what works best for you and them. Changing facilities and our weighing scales are provided in the room we run activities, but feel free to bring your own mat if wanting more privacy. We kindly ask that finger food, food and hot drinks are kept away from the sensory/play area for health and safety reasons.
Will the themes next term be the same as this term?
You and your baby could attend for a whole year and not experience the same theme twice. With over 65 lesson plans for us to showcase, we work very hard to ensure each week is fun, memorable and different. However repetition is key and so a few of our favorite activities we will want to share with you more then once during your time with us at Baby Sensory!
How will I know when to book the next term?
Baby Sensory is not a course, it is designed for continuous learning and development and once you have a place it will be yours until your baby is 13 months or you decide otherwise (re-enrolment is required before the end of a block booking in order to keep your place). When it is time to re-enrol you will receive a message inviting you to book the next block/term with us. If your class is full then it is advised to book on asap when you receive your invitation to secure a space for the following term.
What if my baby falls asleep during class?
It really doesn't matter! Research investigating the brain waves of sleeping infants found that regions associated with sound, motor, visual, and auditory processing still buzzed with activity during sleep. What's more researchers at the University of Turku in Finland also found that babies learned language while sleeping. This is because the cerebral cortex continues to function during awake and sleep states in the first year of life!
What if a class is cancelled by you or I need to miss a week in my block?
If a class is cancelled by myself I will try my hardest to cover the class with a neighboring Baby Sensory class leader or offer a catch up class, no refund will be offered in these events. If I am unable to cover classes or offer a catch up class then a refund will be issued for the cancelled class.
If you are going to miss a class due to holidays or sickness, you are welcome to offer your space to a parent with baby of appropriate age. Please contact me with their details so registers are accurate incase of emergency. If wanting to attend another class/venue that week so you do not miss out, this may be possible if spaces are available.
Is my baby too young?
Our programme if for babies from 0-13 months, parents are encouraged to join when they are ready.
Can I join if the term has already started?
Yes you can! You will only pay for the classes you have signed up to from your start date.
Can siblings attend?
School holidays can sometimes disrupt you weekly plans, I have been there! If needing to bring siblings along to class please get in touch to discuss.
