About this class
Baby Sensory Angus runs classes at Broughty Ferry Tennis Club on Elcho Drive, with Wednesday sessions at 10:45 and 12:00. Babies from birth through to 13 months are welcome, and the programme recognises two developmental stages — birth to six months, and seven to thirteen months — so activities are pitched to where your baby actually is.
Lisa Melrose leads the classes here and at the Arbroath venue. She can be reached directly at angus@babysensory.co.uk.
Each session follows a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle, so the pace shifts gently rather than pressing through activity after activity without a pause. A typical class weaves together creative play, tummy time, massage, movement, and sensory exploration through textures and scents. Music plays a central part — Baby Sensory uses original songs composed by Dr Lin Day, and instruments are checked to make sure they stay at a safe volume for young ears. Every session ends with the sounds of the womb to settle babies, a small detail that makes a real difference when energy is flagging.
The curriculum runs across a full year with a different theme each week, so sessions do not repeat for families who attend across several terms. Each week has a detailed lesson plan behind it, and activities are adapted so that babies with physical or sensory differences can take part fully. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point — there is no expectation to push through an exercise if your baby has other ideas.

Common questions
What age group are the classes for?
Sessions at Broughty Ferry Tennis Club are for ages from birth to 13 months. The programme splits into two developmental stages — birth to six months and seven to thirteen months — and activities are pitched to each stage within the class.
When do classes run, and are there spaces available?
Wednesday sessions run at 10:45 and 12:00. Spaces are limited, so it is worth contacting Lisa Melrose directly to check what is currently available: email angus@babysensory.co.uk or call +447793132562.
What happens during a session?
Each class brings together creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, and sensory exploration using textures, scents, and music. Sensory signing is woven in throughout — simple signs that help babies and parents begin to communicate from early on. Sessions follow a play-rest-play structure rather than running at full intensity from start to finish, and every week has a different theme. The curriculum does not repeat across a full year.
What should I bring?
Bring whatever you would normally carry for a session out with your baby — nappies, a change of clothes, and a feed if one is due. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the class.
