Baby Sensory
Baby Sensory was the first baby programme to offer a complete approach to learning and development from birth to 13 months. Designed to stimulate, educate, and provide precious memories during the all-important first year of life, our baby classes include activities ranging from signing to fibre-optic light shows, amazing light balls, bubbles, and bells; there is always something different. Everything we do is backed by over 35 years of expert research in childhood development. So we’ll always explain what we’re doing and why, helping you make your baby’s first year a truly precious time of learning, fun, and sensory exploration.
