SUMMARY:Baby Sensory
DESCRIPTION:A perfect way to meet new parents/carers and have fun with your baby \nBaby Sensory provides ideas for creative play\, massage\, tummy time\, movement\, visual development\, textures\, scents and music in simple practical ways that can be easily repeated at home. We also use a combination of original and traditional songs and rhymes to develop early speech and language skills\, and sensory signing activities to help you and your baby communicate from birth. \nWe want you to enjoy every second of your baby’s miraculous development. That’s why everything we do has a purpose. \nThey arrange the sensory area to match the distance at which your baby sees objects clearly. \nThey measure the decibel level of our instruments to make sure they are not too loud. \nThey soothe your baby at the end of every session by mimicking the sounds of the womb. \nThey welcome you to feed or cuddle your baby during the session. \nThe most miraculous advances in your baby’s brain structure occur in the first 3 months of life. During this period\, an astonishing 2 million new brain cell connections are created every second. By the end of the first year\, your baby’s brain will have doubled in volume as a direct result of sensory learning from birth! \nThey are incredibly lucky to have exceptional Class Leaders. Many were originally parents who attended Baby Sensory with their own babies. Their total belief and commitment are reasons why we’ve been able to grow this original concept and help babies reach their full potential. \nIf you are looking for an exciting activity which will be fun for you and will help with your baby’s sensory development contact our local booking team run by Natalie who is happy to arrange for you and your baby to visit one of our classes. \nFor booking information and prices please click the button below \nMore info and booking
