About this class
Baby Sensory at Eglinton Community Hall runs on Tuesday mornings at 9:30am, under the Baby Sensory NW & Coleraine franchise. The classes are led by Tracy Anderson, who spent seven years as a class leader for Baby Sensory North NI before taking on the franchise — a background that shows in how she runs things.
Each session follows a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle, so the pace shifts deliberately between activity and quiet. You can expect creative play, massage, tummy time, movement activities, visual development, textures, and music — including original songs composed by Dr Lin Day, among them 'Say Hello to the Sun'. The sensory area is arranged to match the distance at which young babies actually focus. The instruments have been decibel-tested, so nothing tips into uncomfortable territory. Every session closes by mimicking the sounds of the womb.
The programme covers 40 core lesson plans plus 28 seasonal and special-event plans, so sessions change week to week. Activities are adapted for babies with physical or sensory impairments, and parents are welcome to feed or cuddle during class at any point.
For babies under three months, the Hello Baby add-on runs alongside the main programme. It has three parts: an Observation strand to help parents read their newborn's behavioural cues; a Crying, Colic and Comfort workshop covering the main causes of colic and techniques to reduce distress; and a Massage session built around touch, reflexology, yoga, and sensory integration. Contact the local team on 07881 541216 or at nw.coleraine@babysensory.co.uk to ask about availability.
