About this class
Baines Hall sits within Elland Cricket Club on Hullenedge Road, and Baby Sensory Halifax runs classes there every Wednesday. The franchise covers the wider Halifax area — Elland, Skircoat Green and Lightcliffe — and has been directed by Brooke Firth and Charlotte Lucas since May 2021.
The programme takes babies from birth to 13 months. Each session follows a detailed lesson plan covering what a baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels; every activity is designed to stimulate the senses and move development forwards. In practice that means creative play, tummy time, movement, textures, scents, visual activities and music. Sessions open with a signature song and close by mimicking the sounds of the womb to help babies settle. Sensory signing runs through the classes too, giving parents practical ways to communicate with their baby before speech develops.
You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the session. Songs and rhymes — original and traditional — weave through the activities to support early speech and language. Classes run term time only. To find out when the next term begins and whether the Wednesday 1pm session has places, ring 07809 438502 or email Halifax@babysensory.co.uk.
