About this class
Every Monday, Baby Sensory comes to Waltham-on-the-Wolds Village Hall — run by the Grantham, Melton & Nottingham East franchise and open to babies from birth through to 13 months. The franchise's main WOW Centre sits at Whatton, where classes run Tuesday to Friday; Waltham-on-the-Wolds is the Monday venue for families in this part of Leicestershire.
Behind each session sits a detailed lesson plan that covers everything a baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. The sensory area is arranged at the distance babies actually see clearly, and the volume of musical instruments is measured to avoid being too loud. A signature song opens every class, then the session moves through creative play, tummy time, movement, massage, textures, scents and music — all chosen to stimulate the senses and move development forwards. Sensory signing activities give parents and babies a way to communicate from the earliest weeks. Songs and rhymes woven throughout build early speech and language skills, and each session ends with the sounds of the womb to settle babies. The activities are designed to translate easily to home, so there is something to try between Mondays. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point.
Elaine, the franchise owner, leads the Monday classes. She has 13 years in health and fitness — including senior management roles with Virgin Active and Nuffield Health — and attended Baby Sensory herself with all three of her children before training as a Class Leader. She was named Nottingham's Most Loved Activity Leader for Babies. Steph, a former senior nursery nurse with 11 years in a baby unit, also leads classes and brings her own son to sessions. Places fill quickly, so it is worth getting in touch early.

When do classes run?

What actually happens in a session?
Each session follows a structured lesson plan covering sensory play with textures and scents, tummy time, movement, creative activities, massage, and a mix of songs and rhymes to support early speech and language. Sensory signing runs through the session — simple signs that give you and your baby a shared language from the very start. A signature song opens every class, and the session closes with womb sounds to soothe babies before you leave. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point.
Do I need to bring anything specific?
The franchise does not publish a kit list for these sessions. Bring whatever you would normally carry for a morning out — nappy bag, a change of clothes, anything your baby finds comforting. Contact the team on 07786741766 or grantham@babysensory.co.uk if you have any specific questions before your first class.
