About this class
Baby Sensory at Calmore Community Centre runs on Monday mornings in two back-to-back groups: the 10:00–11:00 slot is for ages from birth to 13 months, and the 11:30–12:30 session is for newborns and younger babies up to 6 months. Both run term time only. Your local leader is Sian Campbell — managing director of the Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense Salisbury, Romsey and Totton franchise — reachable on 07984 051713.
Each session follows a detailed lesson plan covering everything your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. You can expect creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, visual exploration, textures, scents and music, alongside songs and rhymes designed to develop early speech and language. Sensory signing runs through the classes too, giving you simple ways to communicate with your baby from the very earliest weeks. The room layout is arranged to match the distances at which young babies can focus, and any instruments used are kept at a comfortable volume. Every session closes by mimicking the sounds of the womb — a quieter moment towards the end that tends to ease the transition out of the class.
Calmore Community Centre is on Calmore Drive in Totton, Southampton SO40 2ZU. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby whenever they need to — there is no expectation to participate in every activity. Many of the activities, from light play to massage, are straightforward enough to carry over into your daily routine at home.
