About this class
Baby Sensory in Cheadle is run by Katie Potts, whose background spans two disciplines that feed directly into these sessions. She spent seven years as a primary school teacher before setting up her Staffordshire Moorlands franchise — Toddler Sense launched first, in February 2017, with Baby Sensory following two years later. Her Psychology degree, with a focus on child development, shapes how she approaches the programme.
Each session follows a structured lesson plan covering what babies touch, see, hear, smell and feel. You can expect creative play, tummy time, movement, textures, scents and music, woven together with sensory signing to support communication from birth. A signature song opens every class; original and traditional rhymes run throughout to build early speech and language foundations. At the close, the practitioner mimics the sounds of the womb to help babies settle. Feeding or cuddling during the session is actively welcomed — the class is designed around babies being babies.
Classes take place on Cheadle High Street (ST10 1AA) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9:45am and 11:15am, covering babies from birth through to 13 months. Katie also offers Hello Baby sessions for the 0–3 month age group alongside the main Baby Sensory programme, so there is a clear entry point whichever stage your baby is at when you first come along.

What actually happens in a session?
Every class follows a structured lesson plan. A signature song opens proceedings, then the session moves through sensory play, tummy time, movement, textures, scents, music and sensory signing. Original and traditional songs and rhymes run throughout to support early speech and language. At the end, the practitioner mimics the sounds of the womb to help babies wind down. Activities are designed so you can repeat them at home, which means you leave with practical ideas as well as a good morning out.
Can I attend if my baby is very young?
Yes. The programme covers babies from birth, and the Hello Baby strand specifically supports parents of newborns aged 0–3 months, with workshops on reading baby cues, understanding different cries, managing colic, and learning touch techniques including massage.
What should I bring?
Bring whatever you need to feed or comfort your baby — you are welcome to feed or cuddle during the session at any point. Toys and props used in Baby Sensory classes can be purchased separately through the Baby Sensory shop, including items from the 'Say Hello' range designed by programme founder Dr Lin Day.
