Award Winning Classes for you and your baby

Baby Sensory is proud to announce that its classes are winners of the Best Baby Development Class for 2008 in the prestigious whatson4littleones awards sponsored by Organix.  As well as being voted winners in this important category Baby Sensory was commended in two other categories "Best New Activity" and "Best Innovation".

Company Profile

Baby Sensory was set up in September 2004 in response to the demand for out of home activities for babies.  Baby Sensory is far more than a baby play group as it supports parents with the learning and development of their babies from an early age. It draws on current research, the work of theorists, early years experts, and over 30 years of personal experience, training and networking in the childcare and education sector.  If you are interested in baby development and would like to run classes at a centre near you, please take a look at our ‘Run a Class’ page.

In March 2006 Baby Sensory began its first International expansion by reaching agreement with Bariki Inc who plan to establish a flourishing Baby Sensory business in Canada.  Follow the link to our Canada page to find out more about Baby Sensory in Canada and Kanan Bhatt, a Director of Bariki Inc.

The Baby Sensory Experience

Baby Sensory provides hundreds of simple activities that are fun for babies from birth to 13 months.  Our baby classes include baby activities ranging from signing to fibre optic light shows, amazing light balls, bubbles and bells; there is always something different.  Many of these activities are set to our own Baby Sensory music which is available on CD. What is really exciting about Baby Sensory is that it is an adult and baby group where many of the sensory materials and baby activities are unique to the programme.  They are also particularly suitable for newborn babies and babies with special needs and/ or disability.

Each baby class includes seven different activities each week and a discovery play time, during which baby can enjoy our sensory play area whilst parents have the opportunity to meet.  You will see from our testimonials that parents and healthcare professionals share a common enthusiasm for our baby classes.  You will be delighted when you see your baby use skills that have been learned in our newborn to 6 month classes for the first time.

The Baby Sensory songs and our specially adapted sign language will help your baby to learn and develop speech and communication skills from an early age.

Our Founder

Baby Sensory founder, Dr Lin Day (Dip. Ed. BSc. PGCE. M. Phil)  has worked with babies and young children throughout her career.  Prior to creating the Baby Sensory experience, which incorporate newborn sessions, Lin created a musical adventure play concept, 'Wake Up!'.  The primary aim of Wake Up! was to encourage toddlers and children to become more active through practical and exciting play.  Lin recognised that babies attending classes with their older brothers and sisters were spellbound by what was happening around them and thus founded Baby Sensory, classes for babies.

Lin has a wealth of relevant experience,  She has been a State Registered Nurse, set up the first Early Years holiday scheme for under-privileged children in Wiltshire and then established her own Nursery School, Woodford Nursery School.  A more detailed profile of Lin is available on our Salisbury class page.
