About this class
Every Wednesday at 1pm, Claire leads a Baby Sensory session at St Peter's Community Hub in Littleover. The class is open to babies from birth up to 13 months and costs £7.25 per session. It sits within the Baby Sensory Derby East franchise, which Nicola runs across Spondon, Little Eaton, Littleover and Hilton.
Each session follows a detailed lesson plan covering what your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. You can expect creative play, tummy time, movement activities, visual development work, and exploration of textures and scents, alongside a mix of original and traditional songs and rhymes chosen to support early speech and language. A signature song opens every class. Sensory signing runs through the activities so you and your baby can start communicating from the very beginning. At the close of each session, gentle womb sounds bring things to a calm end.
The programme is built on early brain development research: in the first three months of life, two million new brain cell connections form every second. Sessions reflect that — the sensory area is arranged to match the distance at which young babies actually see clearly, and instrument volumes are measured to ensure nothing is too loud. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the class.

Common questions
How old does my baby need to be to join?
The Littleover Wednesday class is open to babies from birth through to 13 months. If your baby is in the newborn-to-three-month window, the separate Hello Baby programme — also part of the Baby Sensory family — focuses specifically on that early stage. It covers reading your baby's behavioural cues, understanding their cries, colic and comfort, and introducing gentle massage and reflexology.

What actually happens in a session?
Every session opens with the Baby Sensory signature song, then moves through a structured mix of sensory activities — lights, textures, scents, movement, tummy time, and music. Sensory signing is woven throughout. The class closes with soothing womb sounds to settle babies. The activities are designed to be easy to repeat at home during the week.
What should I bring?
Bring whatever your baby normally needs, including milk if you plan to feed during the session — you are welcome to do so at any point. If you want to extend the experience at home, props and toys used in class, including the 'Say Hello' range designed by programme founder Dr Lin Day, can be bought through the Baby Sensory shop.
