About this class
Three Baby Sensory classes run on Fridays at Meadowside Leisure Centre, Whiteley Way: Older Babies (6–13 months) at 10:00–10:55, Younger Babies (0–6 months) at 11:15–12:10, and a Mixed Ages group (0–13 months) at 12:30–13:15. Classes run term time only at £9.00 per session, under the Baby Sensory Fareham & Waterlooville franchise.
The sessions follow the same structured lesson plan used across the Baby Sensory programme — every activity mapped to what a baby at that stage touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. You can expect creative play, tummy time, massage, movement, visual development, textures, scents and music. Sensory signing runs alongside original and traditional songs and rhymes to support early speech and language. The Friday sessions at Meadowside use a smaller room, so the full exploratory play area is not set out; sensory toys and props are brought out during the break for babies to explore at their own pace.
Every session opens with the Baby Sensory signature song 'Say Hello to the Sun' and closes by soothing babies through sounds that mimic the womb. The programme was designed as a parenting programme as much as a baby class — each session gives you practical activities to repeat at home, and parents are welcome to feed or settle their baby at any point during the class.
