About this class
Baby Sensory South Reading holds its Wednesday class at Burghfield Community Sports Association, James Lane, Burghfield, from 11:00 to 12:00, running term time only. Babies from birth right through to 13 months are welcome, with the programme split into two distinct developmental stages — birth to six months, and seven to thirteen months — so activities are pitched at what your baby is actually ready for rather than a single undifferentiated format.
Each one-hour session follows a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle, moving through creative play, tummy time, sensory exploration, movement, and massage. Music carries through the class: original songs composed by Baby Sensory founder Dr Lin Day sit alongside traditional rhymes, all chosen to support early speech and language development. Signing activities are woven in too, giving babies and parents a shared language well before words arrive. The session closes by mimicking the sounds of the womb — a gentle cue built into every class.
Structured sections include Bonding Time, brief expert tips from the practitioner, and a free exploratory play area. Instruments used in the class are checked at a measured decibel level so they are not too loud for young ears, and the sensory display is arranged to match the distance at which a young baby's eyes can focus most clearly. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point during the session.

A session lasts one hour and moves through several distinct sections: sensory play (lights, textures, scents), tummy time, massage, movement, and music using a mix of original songs and traditional rhymes. There is also a period of Bonding Time, brief expert tips from the practitioner, and an open exploratory play area. Every session ends with womb sounds to help babies wind down. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point throughout.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothing you do not mind getting on the floor in is practical for you. For your baby, a nappy bag and a change of clothes will cover most eventualities. A muslin or familiar blanket can be useful if your baby likes having something of their own during sensory play.
