About this class
Baby Sensory at St Peters Church Hall on Newmarket Road runs on both Mondays and Fridays, giving families in Norwich and the surrounding NR4 area — including Cringleford and Sprowston — a choice of slots across the week. Monday sessions start at 10:00am (ages from birth to 13 months), with an 11:20am slot for birth-to-6-months, and a mixed-age session at 12:45pm. On Fridays the pattern shifts slightly: 10:30am (6–13 months), noon (birth-to-6 months), and 1:30pm (birth-to-13 months). All sessions are term-time only.
Ally Frost joined Baby Sensory as a class leader in April 2017 and took over the Norwich franchise in October 2020. She has spent the intervening years getting to know families across the city, and that local continuity shows in how she runs the sessions.
Each class is structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle, weaving together creative play, movement, tummy time, massage, textures, scents, and visual stimulation. The programme draws on original music composed by Dr Lin Day — songs written specifically to develop early speech and language — alongside sensory signing activities designed to help babies and parents build communication from the very earliest weeks. Instruments are checked for decibel levels so the sound stays comfortable for small ears, and the visual display is arranged to match the distance at which young babies actually see clearly. Every session ends with sounds that mimic the womb, easing little ones back down after the stimulation.
For newborns aged 0–3 months, the Hello Baby add-on sits alongside the main programme. It includes workshops on recognising different cries and managing colic, gentle massage techniques, and a focus on reading your baby's behavioural cues. Hello Baby also has a social element, giving parents space to compare notes with others going through the same stage and to put questions to the practitioner running the class. At any point in any session — Monday or Friday — you are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby.
