About this class
Baby Sensory at Sandbach Health and Fitness is run by Vicky and her mother Jayne, who brought the programme to South Cheshire together in July 2009. Their franchise covers Sandbach, Congleton, and Nantwich, so the Wednesday sessions here sit within a network that has been operating locally for over fifteen years. Two slots run each Wednesday — 11:10 to 12:10, and 12:30 to 13:30 — both term time only and open to babies from birth to 13 months.
Each session follows a play-rest-play structure, which means the pace shifts throughout the hour rather than driving through non-stop stimulation. You can expect creative play, tummy time, texture and scent exploration, and movement activities alongside sensory signing — gestures that give babies a way to communicate from birth. A mix of original and traditional songs and rhymes runs through each session, and the instruments have been checked to ensure they are not too loud for young ears. Sessions close by mimicking the sounds of the womb to soothe babies as the hour winds down.
The programme divides the 0–13 month range into two developmental stages — birth to 6 months, and 7 to 13 months — so activities are tailored to where your baby actually is. If you have a newborn, the Hello Baby strand within the programme is designed specifically for the first three months: it covers reading your baby's behavioural cues, comfort techniques for crying and colic, and gentle touch work including massage and reflexology. Feeding or cuddling your baby at any point during the session is completely welcome.

Common questions
What ages are the Wednesday classes at Sandbach Health and Fitness for?
Both Wednesday sessions are open to ages from birth to 13 months. The programme divides this range into two developmental stages — birth to 6 months, and 7 to 13 months — so the activities are matched to your baby's stage rather than treating the whole age band as one.
How much does it cost and how do I book?
Classes run in term-time blocks priced at £45.00 per block. To book a place at the Sandbach venue, contact Baby Sensory South Cheshire directly: call 07974 359980 or email southcheshire@babysensory.co.uk.
What happens during a session?
A typical hour moves through creative play, tummy time, massage, movement, and texture and scent exploration, woven together with songs, rhymes, and sensory signing activities. The structure follows a play-rest-play pattern, so calmer moments are built in throughout. Sessions close with womb sounds to help babies settle. The programme draws on 40 core lesson plans plus 28 seasonal and special-event plans, so the content varies across the term.
My baby is a newborn — is that too young?
Not at all. The Hello Baby strand is designed specifically for ages from birth to 13 months. It covers reading your baby's cues, comfort techniques for crying and colic, and gentle touch work including massage and reflexology. Contact the South Cheshire team on 07974 359980 to find out which Wednesday slot works best for a very young baby.
Can I feed my baby during the class?
Yes. The Baby Sensory programme explicitly welcomes feeding or cuddling at any point during the session.
