About this class
On Thursday mornings at All Saints Church Hall, Crow Lane East, Newton-le-Willows, Elspeth runs a Baby Sensory session for ages from birth to 13 months up to 13 months. The class takes place 10:00–11:00 during term time, making it a weekly fixture for families in the WA12 area — including those coming from Newton-le-Willows itself, Great Sankey and Widnes.
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan developed by Dr Lin Day, the programme's founder, covering what babies touch, see, hear, smell and feel. You can expect a mix of creative play, tummy time, movement, texture exploration, scents, massage and music — put together in practical ways that are easy to repeat at home. A signature song marks the opening of each class; original and traditional songs and rhymes run throughout to support early speech and language development; sensory signing activities give parents and babies straightforward ways to communicate from birth. The session closes with gentle womb sounds to soothe babies as the hour winds down.
Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point during the session. For the very youngest (birth to three months), the separate Hello Baby programme is also available through the West Warrington & Widnes franchise, with workshops covering behavioural cues, colic and comfort, and early massage techniques.
