About this class
Baby Sensory at Hayes Green Community Centre runs on Mondays and is led by Hannah Holland, who has been running the Baby Sensory Walsall & Cannock franchise for nearly six years. Her mother helps out too — known to regulars as Nanny Sensory. The franchise runs eight classes a week across three venues in and around Walsall and Cannock, Monday through Wednesday.
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan that works through all five senses. Babies encounter light and visual play, textured materials, scented props, music, and gentle movement. The sensory area is arranged at the distance babies actually see clearly, and instrument volumes are checked to make sure they are not too loud. A signature song opens every session, sensory signing runs through it — giving babies and parents a shared physical language from very early on — and womb sounds are played at the close to help babies settle. Tummy time and massage are woven in throughout, and the ideas are designed so you can easily carry them over to practice at home.
The programme runs from birth to 13 months. Newborns and young babies (0 to 3 months) join the Hello Baby strand, which focuses on reading your baby's behavioural cues, understanding the five main baby cries, and gentle touch including massage and reflexology. Babies continue into the main Baby Sensory sessions as they grow through to 13 months. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point during the session.

Common questions
What age is this class for?
Baby Sensory at Hayes Green takes babies from birth to 13 months. Those aged 0 to 3 months can join the Hello Baby programme, which focuses specifically on the earliest weeks — reading your baby's cues, understanding the five main baby cries, and building gentle touch techniques including massage and reflexology.

Each activity follows a detailed lesson plan, and most ideas are designed to be repeated at home.
