About this class
Baby Sensory at St Matthew's Church Hall in Lightcliffe is part of the Baby Sensory Halifax franchise, which covers Skircoat Green, Lightcliffe and Elland. Sessions run on Wednesdays during term time, within a 9am to 2pm window. Charlotte Brooke leads the classes — call her on 07738411082 to ask questions or secure a spot. The hall is on Wakefield Road, HX3 8TH.
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan covering what your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. Activities span creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, visual development, textures, scents and music — all chosen because they can be repeated at home. Songs and rhymes, a mix of original and traditional, run through each class to support early speech and language, while sensory signing activities give babies and parents a way to communicate before words arrive. A signature song opens every session, and each class closes with gentle womb sounds to settle little ones.
The programme covers babies from birth through to 13 months, so whether you have a newborn just beginning to take in the world or an almost-toddler alert to everything around them, the content is shaped to meet them where they are. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the session — there is no expectation to participate when your baby needs you.

Which ages can attend?

If your baby is very young — from birth to around 3 months — it is worth asking Charlotte whether the Hello Baby programme is available locally.

Each class follows a detailed lesson plan covering creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, textures, scents and music. A signature song opens every session. Songs and rhymes are woven throughout to support early speech and language development, and sensory signing activities give parents and babies a shared language from the earliest weeks. The session ends with womb sounds used to gently soothe babies.
What should I bring?
You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby during the session whenever they need it. If you want to extend the activities at home, toys and props from the programme are available through the Baby Sensory shop, including the 'Say Hello' range designed by programme founder Dr Lin Day.
