About this class
Baby Sensory Rotherham runs its 0–13 month classes from The WOW Centre in Mexborough. Carolyn trained as a Nursery Nurse, worked across childminding and nursery roles, and has led the Rotherham franchise since moving to South Yorkshire in 2007. Claire — known to regulars as Crazy Claire — ran the Baby Sensory Barnsley franchise for seven years before joining Carolyn at this location. Between them, they bring a depth of practical early years experience that shapes how each session is run.
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan covering everything a baby touches, hears, sees, smells and feels. You can expect a mix of creative play, tummy time, massage, movement and textured props, alongside songs, rhymes and sensory signing — activities designed so you can repeat them at home during the week. Each session opens with the Baby Sensory signature song. At the close, the class mimics the sounds of the womb to settle babies before you leave. The sensory space is arranged to match the distance at which young babies see objects clearly, and instrument volumes are checked to make sure nothing is uncomfortably loud for small ears.
The current summer term runs for seven weeks, with themed sessions including Water Splash and Jungle Jitters. Carolyn leads sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays. If your baby is under three months, a separate Hello Baby programme — focused on reading behavioural cues, early massage and settling techniques — runs alongside the main timetable at the same location. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during any session.
