About this class
Baby Sensory at Christ the King Church Hall is part of the Bristol North franchise, run by Emma — who first came to the programme as a parent, with her son Freddie as the inspiration. Wednesday classes run across three slots: 10:00–10:45am for ages from birth to 13 months, 11:15–12:00 for 6–13 months, and 12:30–13:15 for 0–6 months. All three are term-time only, and the current summer term runs for six weeks, from 16 June to 23 July.
Each 45-minute session follows a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle, working through creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, visual development, textures, scents, and music. Alongside the activities, sensory signing runs throughout every class — giving parents and babies a shared language from the earliest weeks. The session structure also includes a dedicated bonding segment, an exploratory play area, and expert tips. Every class closes by mimicking the sounds of the womb, a reliable wind-down after a full session.
The programme takes the technical side seriously: instrument decibel levels are checked to protect young ears, and the play area is arranged at the distance babies actually see clearly. Songs draw on original music composed by programme founder Dr Lin Day as well as traditional rhymes, all chosen to support early speech and language development. Activities are adapted so that babies with physical or sensory needs can take part fully.
The venue is straightforward to get to. There is a free car park at the church hall itself, and free on-street parking on the roads around it — handy if you are arriving by pram. Sessions cost £10.00 each, with a full six-week term coming to £60.00. Classes are booked in termly blocks, a twin discount is available, and you can join mid-term if a space is free.
