About this class
Every Tuesday morning, Church of the Sacred Heart on London Road in Waterlooville hosts three back-to-back Baby Sensory sessions: Older Babies (6–13 months) at 10:00, Younger Babies (0–6 months) at 11:15, and a Mixed Ages group (0–13 months) at 12:30. Sessions run in term time only and cost £9.00 each.
Baby Sensory was founded by Dr Lin Day following more than four decades of research into early child development, and every session follows a detailed lesson plan covering everything your baby touches, sees, hears, smells, and feels. The room is arranged so that all the visual elements sit within the distance at which a young baby actually sees objects clearly; instruments are measured to ensure decibel levels are not too loud for small ears. A session moves through creative play, massage, tummy time, textures, scents, and music — with original songs, traditional rhymes, and sensory signing woven in to support early speech and communication. Each session opens with the programme's signature song and closes by soothing babies with sounds that mimic the womb.
The programme was designed as a parenting programme, not just a class. Every activity is explained so you can repeat it at home, and the regular Tuesday rhythm gives you a reason to get out, meet other local families, and build a support network during what can be a demanding stretch of early parenthood. The Fareham & Waterlooville franchise covers Waterlooville, Whiteley, and Catisfield; you can contact them on 07722 623917 or at fareham@babysensory.co.uk.
