About this class
Baby Sensory Preston runs Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday classes at Unit 9, the WOW Centre on Fylde Road Industrial Estate in Ashton — a bespoke, dedicated space in Preston. Each session lasts a full hour, with a 15-minute break partway through so you and your baby can explore the play area and sensory room at your own pace. Parking is in spaces numbered 21 and above, to the left of the building.
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan covering what your baby touches, sees, hears, smells, and feels. Practically, that means creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, texture exploration, and music — all designed to stimulate development and easy enough to repeat at home through the week. A signature song opens each class. Original and traditional songs and rhymes run throughout to support early speech and language, and sensory signing activities help you begin communicating with your baby from birth. At the close of the session, the sounds of the womb are played to settle little ones before you head off.
The programme behind all of this was developed by Dr Lin Day (PhD, M.Phil, PGCE), who has over 40 years of practical experience working with parents and children and is a Senior Associate of the Royal Society of Medicine. The Preston franchise has been run by Elizabeth Mackay since September 2017. The Summer term runs for seven weeks from the week commencing 2nd June; certain classes in that term may offer three-week or single-session booking options, selectable from the dropdown during booking.
