About this class
Every Monday morning from 10:00 to 11:00, Bangor City Church on Main Street opens for Baby Sensory — a structured class for ages from birth to 13 months through to 13 months. The church, long known locally as First Bangor Presbyterian Church, is on Main Street in Bangor town centre, BT20 4AG, within easy reach for families across Ards and North Down.
Sessions are led by Sharon Bayliss, who has been running Baby Sensory classes for 15 years. Sharon is Solihull trained, Five to Thrive trained, and Incredible Years Baby trained — qualifications that sit alongside the Baby Sensory programme itself and shape how she reads and responds to the babies and parents in the room. Each class follows a lesson plan developed by Dr Lin Day, the programme's founder, and is structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle. A session typically moves through creative play, tummy time, sensory signing, music (including original songs composed by Dr Lin Day), gentle movement, and textures. Every instrument used has been chosen at a decibel level tested not to be too loud for young ears, and the session closes by mimicking the sounds of the womb to help babies settle.
The programme divides into two developmental stages: birth to six months, and seven to thirteen months. If your baby is in the newborn stage — from birth up to around three months — the Hello Baby sub-programme may also be of interest. It covers three areas: observing your newborn's cues and behaviours; a crying, colic, and comfort workshop; and baby massage techniques including reflexology, yoga, and sensory integration. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point in the session, with no expectation to follow along if your baby needs a pause.
