About this class
Monday mornings at The Acacia Suite on Wybunbury Road follow a familiar shape for local families. Three times across the day — 09:45, 11:10, and 12:35 — the room fills with parents, ages from birth to 13 months, and the Baby Sensory signature song that opens every session. The South Cheshire franchise launched in July 2009: Vicky and her mother Jayne started it together across Stoke, Newcastle and South Cheshire, and they are now in their seventeenth year. Many class practitioners elsewhere in the network were originally parents who attended Baby Sensory with their own babies — that background tends to show.
Behind each session is a detailed lesson plan covering everything a baby touches, sees, hears, smells, and feels. In practice that means creative play, tummy time, movement, massage, visual development activities, textures, scents, and music — all chosen to stimulate the senses and move development forward. Songs and rhymes, both original and traditional, run alongside sensory signing activities, giving babies and parents a shared vocabulary from very early on. The sensory area is arranged at the distance babies actually see clearly, and instrument volumes are measured to make sure they are not too loud.
All classes run term time only. Sessions are unhurried: feeding or cuddling during the class is entirely welcome, and everything covered is designed to be repeated easily at home. If you have a very new baby — birth to three months — the South Cheshire team also offers Hello Baby, a separate programme focused on reading your baby's cues, understanding their cries, and gentle massage and reflexology techniques.

Common questions
Which babies can attend?
Classes at The Acacia Suite are open to ages from birth to 13 months. All three Monday slots take mixed ages across that range, so it does not matter whether your baby is a newborn or approaching their first birthday. If your baby is under three months, the South Cheshire team also runs Hello Baby — a programme covering observation, colic and comfort, and massage — and it is worth asking about availability when you get in touch.
When do classes run and what does a session cost?
Classes run on Mondays during term time only, with slots at 09:45–10:45, 11:10–12:10, and 12:35–13:35. Each session costs £8.00.
How do I book?

What actually happens in a session?
Each session opens with a signature song, then moves through creative play, tummy time, movement, massage, visual development, textures, scents, and music — all planned around where your baby is developmentally. Sensory signing activities are included to help parents and babies start communicating from early on. Every session ends with sounds that mimic the womb to help babies settle. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point throughout.
Do I need to bring anything?
There are no specific items required. Toys and props used in Baby Sensory sessions — including the 'Say Hello' range designed by programme founder Dr Lin Day — can be bought separately from the Baby Sensory shop if you want to continue the activities at home.
