About this class
Baby Sensory at The Southville Centre runs every Thursday in Milford Hall on Beauley Road. Classes are term time only, with four one-hour slots: 10:15am, 11:30am, 12:45pm, and 2:00pm. The local franchise, Baby Sensory Bristol South, is led by Arianne, who can be reached at bristolsouth@babysensory.co.uk or on 07908 479936.
Each session follows a detailed lesson plan covering everything your baby touches, sees, hears, smells, and feels. At Milford Hall that takes in light shows, puppet shows, scent activities, massage, movement exercises, singing, and dance. A signature song opens every class; the session closes by mimicking the sounds of the womb to help babies settle. Sensory signing is woven throughout — a practical tool that gives you a way to communicate with your baby well before speech arrives.
Thursdays offer two age groups: 0 to 13 months and a separate younger-baby group for 0 to 7 months, so the activities and pacing can be matched more closely to where your baby actually is. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point — and everything in the session is designed to be easily repeated at home.
