About this class
Den & The Glen on South Deeside Road in Maryculter hosts Baby Sensory classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for ages from birth to 13 months. Sessions are led by Elisha Martin, a mum of two who runs the Baby Sensory Aberdeen South franchise across several venues — including Newtonhill and Hanover Community Centre in the city centre. Of her work she says: "I feel so privileged to be part of the beautiful memories you will create."
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan developed by Dr Lin Day, covering what your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. A signature song opens each class, and from there the session moves through creative play, tummy time, movement activities, visual development, textures and scents, and a blend of original and traditional songs chosen to support early speech and language. Sensory signing runs throughout — simple gestures that let you and your baby begin communicating from the very earliest weeks. Every session closes with practitioners gently mimicking the sounds of the womb.
The sensory area is arranged within the distance at which young babies actually see clearly, and instrument volumes are checked so nothing is uncomfortably loud. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point — the programme is designed to meet babies wherever they are on a given day. If your baby is under three months, it is worth knowing that Baby Sensory also offers Hello Baby, a separate programme for that newborn window with workshops covering how to read behavioural cues, understanding cries, managing colic, and introducing gentle massage and touch techniques.
