About this class
Baby Sensory at Banners Gate Community Church is run by Tracy Jones, who has been delivering these classes in Sutton Coldfield since January 2012. That length of local experience matters — Tracy knows the area, and parents travel from Boldmere, Four Oaks, Streetly, Walmley, and further afield to attend.
Classes run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with three slots each day — 9:30, 11:00, and 12:30 — which gives a decent spread around feeds and naps. Spaces are capped at 19 per session. The cost is £7.75 per session. The church has parking, a buggy park, baby-change facilities, and is accessible for buggies — straightforward enough when you are managing a bag, a pram, and a small person who has opinions about all of it.
Sessions follow a play-rest-play structure that mirrors a baby's natural rhythm. Each class works through a detailed lesson plan covering light and texture play, tummy time, movement, sensory signing, and a mix of original and traditional songs and rhymes to support early speech. The instruments used have been measured to ensure sound levels stay comfortable for young ears, and the visual displays are arranged at the distance a baby this age actually focuses on. Every session winds down with womb sounds to settle babies gently. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the session.
