About this class
East Linton Community Hall on High Street is where Lauren Anderson runs her Baby Sensory sessions for the East Lothian area — babies from birth up to 13 months welcome. Lauren came to the programme the same way many local parents do: she attended herself with her son Brodie and saw first-hand how the classes support babies through their early milestones. That background means she brings a genuine understanding of what new parents are navigating, not just a lesson plan.
The community hall is a generous-sized, well-resourced space — the main hall has a capacity of 120, with a smaller hall and a meeting room alongside it — so there is plenty of room to spread out a mat and settle a baby without feeling hemmed in. Each session follows a carefully structured plan covering everything your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels: creative play, tummy time, massage, movement, visual stimulation, textures, scents, and a mix of original and traditional songs and rhymes chosen to lay early foundations for speech and language. The sensory area is arranged specifically to match the distance at which young babies see objects clearly, and instrument levels are measured to ensure nothing is uncomfortably loud.
Every session opens with a signature song and closes by mimicking the sounds of the womb — a predictable, gentle ending that gives each class a clear shape. Sensory signing runs through the activities too, giving parents practical ways to begin communicating with their baby well before words arrive. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point; the sessions are designed around babies' real rhythms, not the other way round. Ideas from each class are kept simple and repeatable, so what happens at East Linton Community Hall can carry on at home through the rest of the week.

What happens in a typical session?
Each session opens with a signature song, then moves through a structured mix of sensory play, tummy time, massage, movement, visual and texture exploration, and songs and rhymes. Sensory signing activities are woven throughout. The session ends with soothing womb sounds — a consistent, calming close that gives the class a clear rhythm. Every activity is drawn from a detailed lesson plan designed to stimulate development across all the senses.
What should I bring?
Feed your baby and bring whatever comforts them — feeding and cuddles are actively encouraged throughout the session, not tucked away. If you want to continue activities at home, toys and props used in Baby Sensory sessions are available through the Baby Sensory shop, including the 'Say Hello' range designed by Dr Lin Day.
