About this class
Wiltshire Music Centre on Ashley Road in Bradford-on-Avon hosts three Baby Sensory sessions every Monday: 10:30–11:15, 11:45–12:30, and 13:00–13:45. All three are for ages from birth to 13 months up to 13 months old. Three slots in a single morning means you can fit the class around a feed, a nap, or a slower start without missing out for the week.
The sessions are run by the Baby Sensory Bath franchise, led by Rachel Totterdell — a qualified nursery nurse with 20 years of experience working with babies. Every session follows a detailed lesson plan, designed by Dr Lin Day (PhD, M.Phil), that covers everything your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. In practice, a 45-minute session moves through tummy time, texture and scent exploration, light and visual play, simple massage, movement, and a mix of original and traditional songs and rhymes to support early speech and language development. Sensory signing runs through the session as well, giving parents a way to communicate with their baby long before first words.
Each session opens with a signature song and closes with calming womb sounds — a consistent wind-down that marks the end of the session. Feeding and cuddling are actively welcomed at any point, so there is no pressure to be hands-free. The activities are designed to be repeatable at home, so what you do in the room you can carry on through the week. Because dates and times at Wiltshire Music Centre can change, confirm current availability with the Baby Sensory Bath team before your first visit.

Common questions
Which ages are the Monday sessions at Wiltshire Music Centre for?
All three Monday sessions are for ages from birth to 13 months. If your baby is under three months, the Hello Baby programme — a separate strand designed to help parents communicate more deeply with very new babies from birth — is worth asking about when you contact the Baby Sensory Bath team.
How do I book a place?
Booking is handled by the Baby Sensory Bath franchise directly. Contact Rachel Totterdell's team by email at bath@babysensory.co.uk or by phone on 07707 828644. Dates and times at Wiltshire Music Centre are subject to change, so it is worth confirming current availability before you travel.
What happens in a typical session?
Each 45-minute session opens with a signature song, then moves through tummy time, visual and light play, texture and scent exploration, movement, simple massage, and songs and rhymes to support early speech and language development. Sensory signing is included throughout. The session closes with womb sounds to settle babies down. The room layout is arranged to match the distance at which young babies see objects clearly, and the session follows a detailed lesson plan covering all five senses.
What should I bring?
Feed your baby whenever you need to — feeding and cuddling are welcomed at any point during the class. If you want to continue the activities at home, Baby Sensory's own shop stocks props and toys from the programme, including the 'Say Hello' range designed by Dr Lin Day.
