Top Ten Reasons Why We LOVE Our Baby Sensory Class!

Since Amelia and I started Baby Sensory classes with class leader Laura Bannister at Croft Memorial Hall it has become the highlight of our week. I have genuinely never seen Amelia so engaged and fascinated with everything that is going on around her! Here are our top ten reasons why we BOTH love Baby Sensory:

1.      Laura is one of those calm, confident people that I secretly wish I could be like; she just instinctively creates a lovely atmosphere in the class. She also explains, at the start of every activity, how it will aid your baby’s development.

2.      There’s a good balance of structured activities and baby-led play; babies get some time to chill out, but not enough to get bored.

3.      There is a wide range of fantastic toys for babies to play with; not only that but the toys are different every week (it makes me wonder where Laura keeps them all!).

4.      It’s like having two classes in one, as there are lots of “sing and sign” activities as well as the regular baby sensory stuff.

5.      Everything is clean. I can’t tell you how relived I was when Laura came round with two baskets, one for toys that had been mouthed and one for those that hadn’t. I’ve been to classes where you can’t touch the toys without having to go for a tetanus jab afterwards.

6.      The variety. Every week there is something new for babies to be amazed at. The only things that are always the same are the “Hello” and “Goodbye” songs. These are what you’ll find yourself humming/singing as you push your trolley round Asda.

7.      Two words: bubble machine! This is currently Amelia’s favourite thing in the world.

 

8.      The other mums are genuinely lovely; everybody talks to everybody and I can honestly say there is no “cliqueiness” whatsoever.

9.      Places are limited, so while this could mean you spend a couple of weeks on the waiting list, it also means that classes are never overcrowded, and there’s always enough space/equipment for your child.

10.  The class ends on a calm and gentle tone, usually with a song and a light show on the ceiling, so that babies aren’t overexcited at the end of the class, and may even have a sleep in the car on the way home!
