About this class
Every Monday at The Arch in Kingswood, Helen Williams runs three sessions of Baby Sensory — at 10:15, 11:45, and 13:15 — giving families in BS15 and the surrounding area a slot that fits around their day. Helen came to Baby Sensory as a parent herself, attending classes in 2017 before becoming the franchise owner for Bristol East. She now covers Kingswood, Lyde Green, and Emerson's Green.
Each session is built around your baby's natural play-rest-play rhythm. You can expect a blend of sensory signing, tummy time, massage, movement, and an exploratory play area, alongside original songs composed by Dr Lin Day — the programme's founder, whose background spans nursing, special education, nursery management, and early childhood programme development over more than 40 years. The session space is arranged with your baby's vision in mind: objects placed at the distance newborns and young infants actually see clearly, and instruments checked to ensure they sit at a safe decibel level. Every session closes by mimicking the sounds of the womb to soothe babies.
The programme divides into two developmental stages — birth to 6 months, and 7 to 13 months — so activities shift as your baby grows. If your baby is a newborn, the Hello Baby strand (0–3 months) offers a gentler starting point, covering observation, comfort techniques, and touch. You are always welcome to feed or cuddle your baby during any part of the session.
