About this class
Great Preston Village Hall on Preston Lane (LS26 8AS) hosts three Baby Sensory sessions every Wednesday, run by Jayne as part of the Baby Sensory East Leeds franchise. Her patch also covers Garforth, Barwick in Elmet, and Monk Fryston.
The three Wednesday slots are: 09:45–10:45 for ages from birth to 13 months (£56.00 per term); 11:00–12:00 for newborns aged 0–6 months (listed as free); and 12:15–13:15 for babies across the full 0–13 month range at £56.00 per term — around £7.70 per session over a ten-week term.
The programme was developed by Dr Lin Day, whose background spans over 40 years across nursing, special education, nursery management, and early childhood programme design. Each session is structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play rhythm and covers creative play, tummy time, movement, massage, textures, scents, and visual activities. The sensory display is arranged at the distance babies can actually focus, and the instruments used in every class have had their decibel levels measured to make sure they are not too loud. Sessions close with womb sounds to settle babies gently — a considered end rather than a sudden stop.
Language runs through everything. Songs and rhymes — some original compositions by Dr Lin Day, including 'Say Hello to the Sun' — sit alongside sensory signing, giving babies a way to communicate before they have words. Each class also includes a Bonding Time section, practitioner-led Expert Tips, and an Exploratory Play Area. With 40 core lesson plans plus 28 seasonal and special-event plans in the programme, sessions vary from week to week. Parents and carers are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point during the session.
