About this class
Baby Sensory at Carleton Memorial Hall is run by Lucy Holliday as part of Baby Sensory Fylde, the local franchise covering Carleton, Staining, Hambleton and Kirkham. Two Wednesday sessions are listed each week — 09:45 to 10:45 and 11:15 to 12:15 — and both run during term time only. It is worth contacting Lucy at the start of each new term to confirm the schedule and check whether a space is available.
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan covering what your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. Each class opens with the Baby Sensory signature song, then moves through sensory play, movement, tummy time, visual stimulation, and exploration of different textures and scents. Original songs and traditional rhymes run through the class to support early speech and language, alongside sensory signing activities — simple gestures that help you and your baby build communication before words arrive. Instrument volumes are kept within measured, safe levels, and the sensory area is arranged with your baby's visual range in mind. Each session closes with gentle womb sounds to help settle your baby.
The activities were designed by Dr Lin Day, who brought over 40 years of practical experience working with parents and children to the programme. Nothing is filler: each element is put together with the aim of moving your baby's development forward, and most ideas transfer easily to home life so you can carry on between sessions. Feeding or cuddling during the class is entirely welcome — there is no expectation to follow along when your baby needs something else.
Sessions are booked by the term at £8.00 per week, with pay-as-you-go places sometimes available in classes that still have space.

Common questions
What ages are the Wednesday classes at Carleton Memorial Hall for?
The classes are for ages from birth to 13 months, with mixed ages in a single group. If your baby is very new, the Hello Baby programme — a separate offering for newborns from birth to 3 months — may be worth asking Lucy about when you get in touch.
How much does it cost and how do I book?
When booked for the full term, sessions are £8.00 per week. Pay-as-you-go places are sometimes available in classes that still have space. To book or check availability, contact Lucy Holliday directly by phone on 07808 528959 or by email at fylde@babysensory.co.uk.
What happens during a session?
Each class opens with the Baby Sensory signature song, then works through a planned mix of sensory play, tummy time, movement, visual activities, textures, scents and music. Songs and rhymes feature throughout to encourage early communication, alongside sensory signing activities. The session ends with womb sounds to help settle your baby. Activities are drawn from a detailed lesson plan, and most can be continued at home during the week.
Do I need to bring anything?
There is nothing specialist to bring — just whatever your baby needs for feeding or comfort. The programme actively encourages you to feed or cuddle your baby whenever they need it during class. Props and toys from the Baby Sensory range can be bought separately if you want to extend the activities at home.
Do classes run in the school holidays?
No — classes at Carleton Memorial Hall run during term time only. Contact Lucy at the start of each school term to confirm the dates and secure a place.
