About this class
The classes at King's Church Beverley run on Wednesdays across four time slots, covering babies from birth through to 13 months. King's Church's large hall has 96 square metres of commercial lino flooring suitable for crawling babies and is fully accessible, with two disabled toilets on site — practical details that matter when you're navigating a session with a young baby and a changing bag.
Leading all sessions is Sam Sapstead, who has six years of experience as a Baby Sensory class leader and has spent two of those years teaching Toddler Sense alongside it. She brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to classes and has deep knowledge of the programme and the developmental reasoning behind each activity. You can reach Sam directly at Beverley@babysensory.co.uk or on 07940 495780. The franchise covers the Hull and East Riding area.
Each session is built around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle, so there is a rhythm to the hour rather than a relentless stream of stimulation. Activities draw on original and traditional songs and rhymes to support early speech and language, alongside sensory signing, tummy time, massage, movement, and visual exploration. The sensory area is arranged to match the distance at which a young baby can actually focus, and instruments are measured to confirm they sit at a safe volume. Every session ends with sounds that mimic the womb, to help babies settle before you head home. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point during a session.
For newborns aged 0–3 months, the Hello Baby programme is an add-on that runs as a distinct offering. It covers three areas: observing and interpreting your baby's behavioural cues; understanding the main causes of colic and learning comfort techniques; and gentle touch through massage, reflexology, and yoga. It also has a social element — a chance to meet other parents at the same stage.

What happens during a session?
Sessions follow a structured lesson plan shaped around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle. Each class brings together sensory activities — lights, textures, scents, music — alongside tummy time, massage, movement, and sensory signing. Every session includes Bonding Time, Expert Tips, and an Exploratory Play Area, and closes with sounds that mimic the womb to help babies wind down. There are 40 core lesson plans, plus 28 seasonal and special event plans, so the content varies week to week.
Can my baby attend if they have additional needs?
Yes. Activities are adapted so that all babies, including those with physical or sensory impairments, can fully participate. If you have specific questions before your first session, contact Sam directly so she can help you prepare.
