About this class
Baby Sensory at The Greystones is understood to run on Fridays in this S11 corner of Sheffield. Classes take babies from birth right through to 13 months, divided into two developmental stages — birth to six months and seven to thirteen months — so the activities are always pitched at where your baby actually is.
Your class leader is Esther, who co-owns Baby Sensory Sheffield alongside her sister Fran. Esther brings twelve years working in specialist and therapeutic education to every session. She also attended Baby Sensory herself, first with her oldest child in 2021 and again with her youngest in 2025 — which gives her an unusually direct sense of what the programme looks like from a parent's side of the mat. Fran covers other Sheffield venues including Heeley, Beighton, and Dore.
Sessions move through creative play, baby massage, tummy time, movement, visual stimulation, textures, scents, and music, all structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle. Each class draws on one of 40 core lesson plans, with a further 28 seasonal and special-event variations, so the content shifts week to week. Detail in the design goes some way: the sensory area is arranged to match the distance at which a young baby actually sees clearly, and every instrument used has been checked to ensure it stays at a safe volume for infant ears. Sessions close with sounds that mimic the womb. Feeding or cuddling your baby at any point is always welcome.

Common questions
Who are the classes for?
Baby Sensory at The Greystones is for ages from birth to 13 months. The programme splits into two stages — birth to six months and seven to thirteen months — so the activities stay developmentally relevant as your baby grows. Newborns are welcome from birth.
What happens in a session?
Sessions are structured around your baby's natural play-rest-play cycle and cover creative play, baby massage, tummy time, movement, visual stimulation, textures, scents, and music. There is also sensory signing — activities designed to help babies and parents communicate before speech arrives — alongside a mix of original and traditional songs and rhymes chosen to support early speech and language development. Every session ends with sounds that mimic the womb to bring things gently to a close.
Can I bring a newborn?
Yes. The wider Baby Sensory programme includes Hello Baby, a sub-programme specifically designed for ages from birth to 13 months to three months. It covers helping parents observe their baby's cues, understand their needs, and build confidence in those early weeks. Contact Baby Sensory Sheffield to find out whether Hello Baby sessions are currently running at this venue.
What should I bring?
