About this class
Baby Sensory Edinburgh City holds its Tuesday sessions at Myreside Pavilion on Myreside Road — a venue with parking, buggy storage, baby-change facilities, disabled access, and public transport links nearby. Two slots run each Tuesday morning (10:00 and 11:15), both term-time only, with a maximum of 18 babies per class. The franchise is run by Adele, who leads sessions for ages from birth to 13 months through to 13 months.
Each class is built around a detailed lesson plan — not a loose theme, but a structured sequence of activities covering what your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. You can expect baby signing, music, light shows and puppet shows alongside massage, tummy time, texture play and movement activities. A signature song opens every session; the close mimics the gentle sounds of the womb to help babies settle. Instruments are checked to ensure they are not too loud, and the sensory area is laid out to match the distance at which young babies see objects clearly.
Parents are actively encouraged to feed or cuddle their baby whenever needed — there is no pressure to keep to the activity if your baby has other ideas. The activities are also designed to be easy to repeat at home, so a good session carries on well past the Tuesday morning. For very new arrivals, the Hello Baby programme (birth to three months) offers a gentler starting point with a focus on reading your baby's cues, understanding different cries, and early massage — something worth asking Adele about if your baby is under three months old.
