About this class
All Saints Parish Hall in Skircoat Green is one of three Halifax-area venues where Baby Sensory runs its 0–13 month programme — the others being Lightcliffe and Elland. To find out which sessions are currently at All Saints and how to sign up, ring 07809 438502 or email Halifax@babysensory.co.uk.
Each Baby Sensory session follows a detailed lesson plan that works through creative play, tummy time, movement, visual development, textures, scents and music — activities put together so a parent can repeat them at home during the week. A signature song opens every class. Original and traditional rhymes weave through the session specifically to support early speech and language, and sensory signing gives babies a way to communicate before words arrive. Props and displays are set up at the distance babies actually focus on; instruments are checked against measured decibel levels so nothing is uncomfortably loud for small ears. Each class ends in the same way: the practitioner mimics the sounds of the womb to bring babies gently down.
Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point — there is no expectation of staying still or keeping to a rigid routine. The programme was developed by Dr Lin Day (PhD, M.Phil), whose background spans nursing, special educational needs, and over 40 years working with parents and children. She wrote every lesson plan and course handbook herself, which means the session structure reflects a specific body of work rather than a generic outline.

Common questions
Which babies can attend this class?
The Baby Sensory programme at All Saints Parish Hall is open to babies from birth up to 13 months. If your baby is under three months, the Hello Baby programme — a separate strand within Baby Sensory — focuses specifically on helping parents read their newborn's cues, understand colic, and start communicating from the earliest weeks.

What happens in a typical session?
Sessions work through a structured lesson plan covering creative play, tummy time, movement, textures, scents and music, alongside original and traditional songs chosen to support early speech and language. Sensory signing runs through the activities, and every session ends with the practitioner mimicking the sounds of the womb to settle babies as the class winds down. A signature song opens each class — it is the same song every time, which quickly becomes familiar to babies.
What should I bring?
Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby during class at any point. If you want to recreate activities at home afterwards, props from the sessions — including the 'Say Hello' range designed by Dr Lin Day — are available through the Baby Sensory shop.
Can I hold a Baby Sensory party at a venue I choose?
Yes. Baby Sensory Halifax can arrange parties for babies up to 13 months at a venue of your choice, including at home. The practitioner suggests the theme, songs and activities to suit the occasion — birthdays, christenings, naming ceremonies, weddings and seasonal parties are all catered for.
