About this class
Baby Sensory Staffordshire Moorlands is run by Katie Potts from the WOW Centre on Cheadle High Street — the local base for Katie's WOW World Group classes. Before launching Toddler Sense here in February 2017, she spent seven years as a primary school teacher and holds a Psychology degree with a child development focus. Baby Sensory followed two years later, in 2019. That classroom background shows in how the sessions are put together: each one is built on a detailed lesson plan drawing on creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, visual exploration, textures, scents, and a mix of original and traditional songs and rhymes.
The programme follows a baby's natural play–rest–play cycle, so the session has rhythm rather than relentless stimulation. Each class moves through Bonding Time, Expert Tips, and an Exploratory Play Area. Every instrument used has been tested to ensure it sits at a safe volume for young ears, and the visual sensory area is arranged at the precise distance a baby can focus clearly. Sessions close by mimicking the sounds of the womb — a gentle, consistent cue for even the most alert baby that it's time to settle.
For the youngest attendees, Hello Baby (birth to 3 months) runs alongside the main programme at the same Cheadle venue. It covers three strands: observing your newborn's behavioural cues; workshops on crying, colic, and comfort techniques; and gentle touch including massage, reflexology, and yoga. Classes run on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, with 9:45 AM and 11:15 AM slots at the WOW Centre, ST10 1AA. Current availability can be checked through the WOW World Group's class finder at wowworldgroup.com, or via @wowstaffordshiremoorlands on Facebook and Instagram.
