About this class
Baby Sensory at Millennium Jubilee Hall brings the national programme to Kesgrave every Friday. The franchise covering Ipswich, Kesgrave and Felixstowe is run by Chloe Egelton, based locally in Trimley St Martin, who took over from a franchisee who had been running Suffolk classes since 2014. Three Friday slots are on offer: 09:45–10:45 for ages from birth to 13 months, 11:15–12:15 for those aged 0–7 months, and 12:45–13:45 for the full 0–13-month range. All run term time only, pre-booking required, at £54.00 per term.
Each session follows a structure built around babies' natural play-rest-play rhythms. Activities move through creative play, tummy time, movement and massage, woven with songs and rhymes — a mix of original compositions by the programme's founder Dr Lin Day and familiar traditional ones — to support early speech and language. Sensory signing features in each session alongside the other activities, giving you and your baby a shared visual language from the earliest weeks. The room's sensory display is arranged at the distance a young baby actually focuses on, and instruments are decibel-tested to keep sound levels within safe limits. Every session closes with the sounds of the womb to gently settle things down.
For newborns, the Hello Baby strand — covering observation of your baby's cues, colic and comfort workshops, and massage techniques — is an optional add-on available through the same local team. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point during the session. Classes run in term time only, so it is worth getting in touch at the start of a new term to check availability and secure a place.
