Why attend our classes?
Baby Sensory is a multi-award winning learning and developmental programme. Behind each session is a detailed lesson plan which is backed up with 40+ years of practical experience and research with parents and babies. You and your baby will experience a huge variety of sensory experiences and discover ways to communicate with each other. You will gain the support and knowledge necessary to lead babies' learning and development forwards, in the most important year of their life. During this time your babies' brain will double in size- how phenomenal is that?
How do classes help my baby to develop?
Our activities are lovingly designed to stimulate your babies' brain, building trillions of new brain cell connections. Incorporating creative play, tummy time, movement, games, lights, visual aids, massage, songs, signs and rhymes benefits your baby immensely for different reasons. To name a few benefits, they aid eye development, motor skills, the sense of touch and smell, imagination, concentration, understanding, emotional development, listening skills, memory, speech and language.
Structure of class
Each session is 1 hour long and we follow babies' natural hourly cycle of play- rest- play, to ensure they are not over-stimulated. We begin with our unique "Say Hello to the Sun Song" where you can sing and sign to your baby, followed by some guided activities. Half way through we give babies' the opportunity to have a rest in our exploratory play area. This is the perfect time to have a chat with other parents and make new friends. We follow with more guided activities, ending with our soothing "Wave Goodbye" song. Your little one will establish a wonderful routine as they gain confidence each week.
With over 50 different sessions, the year long programme will provide plenty of ideas for home play, create lots of smiles, happy memories and enhance this precious time you have with your baby.
What if my baby goes to sleep?
Please don’t worry if your little one is sleepy, this is completely normal and shows that they are relaxed. It’s very tiring to grow especially in those early weeks. Regardless of this, your baby will still take in 70% of everything that’s going on around them. A great excuse to continue, to build that bond with kisses, cuddles, tickles and singing.
Is my baby too young for the class?
You can join us whenever you are ready. The classes are designed from birth and babies generally sleep very well after.
