Baby Sensory Avis 

Wow.. where do I start.

I attended Baby Sensory in Wednesfield every Wednesday for 7 months and if i could stop forever I would.
The normal nerves set in for my first day but I was welcomed like I’d Known Stacey all my life! There was never a week where we didn’t have a blast, it felt like a real family who was all experiencing the same thing at the same time and Stacey was our guiding light that got us through the ups the downs and everything in-between!
Stacey really helped my little boy come on leaps and bounds and he absolutely adored her ( even if he did flirt 😂)

I just want to say a massive Thank you to Stacey for being the best Baby sensory leader who always greeted you with a smile, a warm hug if you needed it, a shoulder to cry on and better yet the bestest Friend to our little babies.

Hopefully ill see you in the near future! Thank you again 🩷

At Baby Sensory Wolverhampton North Stacey welcomed me and my daughter when she was just 7 weeks old. We were instantly made to feel comfortable with Stacey and the group. We have now graduated just after her 1st Birthday. We have absolutely loved getting to know Stacey and really enjoyed all of her themes she’s amazing with all of the babies. Beyond that she is so supportive of the moms! I’m really going to miss our Thursdays, having so much fun and putting the world to rights with our Stace. Thank you for everything xx

I don't even know where to start! I always knew once having a baby that I wanted to go to some sort of baby class - but I was so nervous to go! With a friend we decided to give baby sensory wolves north a go. I can honestly say that me and my little girl have loved every single session that we have attended over a course of 10 months! Stacey is absolutely fantastic! She puts so much effort into her classes, she is so friendly and welcomes everyone! She really made us feel at home and she is one of the main reasons we have had such an enjoyable 10 months. The classes are well thought out, have brilliant resources as well as lots of great photos opportunities! My little girl has learned so much from our classes and has flourished as a result! I couldn't it recommend more! Baby sensory gave me something to look forward to every week and we are going to really miss it! We have made memories which I'll always hold onto!

We’ve been going to baby sensory notts north since my daughter was 6 weeks old, she’s now nearly 9 months and we love it it’s been so wonderful and Cara has been so lovely, my daughter really focuses on her every class and you can see how much she loves what she does

We went to baby sensory East Dulwich from 4 months - 14 months. It has been a wonderful experience. The facilitator was so great at interacting with the kids. I’d say it’s especially good for the smaller babies however she still had fun all the way to the end and has learned so much.

We love our classes with Megan at St Marks Greenwich, she is full of energy and the babies love her! My baby is 9 months now and he’s benefited so much from these classes.

Lucy at baby sensory Liverpool is just amazing! You can tell she really loves her job and the babies. When my daughter started nursery at 9 months old she was just so confident, curious and independent and I really think it’s down to baby sensory. I definitely recommend and would 100% be back if I have any more haha. Wren-Rue has just loved every session. Lucy is amazing at her job. As a 20 year old first time mum Lucy made me feel so comfortable and all the mums, nans, dads & grandads involved. It’s such a lovely community to be apart of and definitely one of my favourite parts of motherhood. Thanks again Lucy for everything you will be missed and hopefully see you again! Love, Courtney & Wren-Rue xx 🌸

I have been coming to baby sensory since my baby was 5 weeks old and it is our favourite part of the week! Now he’s older I love being able to let him crawl about in a safe space and interact with other babies and adults. We LOVE getting dressed up for a themed week! Every week is different and so interactive. My little one absolutely adores Stacey, as do all the other babies! He turns his head when he hears her voice and always smiles if he sees a video with her in! As soon as he sees Stacey at class, I may as-well not be there haha! My baby is so inquisitive and loves playing which I believe is down to being part of this wonderful class from such a young age. Stacey goes above and beyond to include all of the babies (even picking rattles or books etc that will match their outfits - perfect photo op!!) I highly recommend baby sensory wolves north!

Baby Sensory classes have been our favourite! The class leader is incredible and we have always been made to feel so welcome with such a warm, caring and nurturing approach. The activities and variety of lights, sounds and fun always wow us! The second their signature song is played my baby is turning and beaming. It's so gorgeous to see just how much he loves the classes. I really love that the classes are planned around babies development. As someone with a passion for early years and a degree in teaching and learning and a PGCE with a specialism in early years, I can see just how important and beneficial these classes really are. I have learnt so much from baby sensory and find myself so inspired to try some of the activities at home with my little one. I could not recommend these sessions enough. Every session is perfect bonding time with my baby and meeting other parents for a catch up each week. It gets us out of the house and it's genuinely something we thoroughly look forward to. My boy has been attending since he was 3 weeks old and we are on his final term now. I'm not mentally prepared for him to graduate! Thank you SO much Baby Sensory for making such wonderful classes for us lucky mothers. They have been incredible!

The favourite part of our week is our sensory Tuesdays. We have had the best 9 months with Stace.
She is absolutely amazing with the babies, the classes are so well put together and Stace is a complete natural. She keeps the babies engaged with her enthusiasm and energy in every class.
All the babies love Stace and you can see how comfortable they all are in the environment.
The class has contributed a lot towards my daughters development and we go most days having to listen to ‘say hello to the sun’😂

I would 100% recommend wolves north, the best about!

This class is the worst I have been to. There are better and cheaper options available in your local library and community centres that really highlight how poor these classes are.

Here is why:
1. There is a huge emphasis on not letting the babies touch or mouth any of the items passed around and a constant reminder of how expensive these items are… such as a feather. They realise we are paying for these classes? They don’t need to go on and on and on about it.

2. The sign language is made up and why do babies need to learn corn 🌽 as one of their first words. Bizarre.

3. The class is centred around about 5 songs, there’s always a parachute that you lift up with balloons on and occasionally a light or two. Then rinse and repeat across all of the sessions. You’re better off going to the library for Rhyme Time.

4. Every class is a promotion for the next class or group of sessions. Every week you expect something different and new… every week I’m disappointed.

I’d highly recommend these alternatives: Story stars, rhyme time at your local library, building blocks at your local community centre and little glow sensory. All far better, cheaper and less patronising.

Baby Sensory Bristol East

We started when my child was around 4 months. She loved every session with Helen and picked up so much learning. We met others at the classes and it really helped to develop her social skills early on. I would highly recommend baby sensory bristol east and Helens classes.

Went along to a class with my little one aged 9 weeks. The instructor was lovely and little one enjoyed bits of the session once they’d got over being thoroughly overwhelmed how loud it was and how many people were there.

In comparison to other local baby classes, this session reeked of being profit maximised at every angle. The session, whilst clearly well planned (everything in person and online seems to be really keen to let you know just how varied the sessions are) it felt a bit like being taught to suck eggs. I’m not sure who needs to be taught how to sing “Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” with their baby using a cringey overproduced backing track, but if that sounds like you then try it out!

I’m a big fan of baby signing but Baby Sensory having their own proprietary language (download the app now only £1.99!) just seems downright odd and I’m really confused as to why corn 🌽 is such a priority word for my little to learn, unless you want to make the franchisee and franchisor lots of money in an overcrowded class with 6 activities and very strict ts&cs.

I’m struck by the lack of variety in reviews both for my local franchise and for Baby Sensory overall, with a feeling that a good review gets you a discount - so perhaps take those glowing reviews (“such varied and well planned classes”) with a pinch of salt - “strict franchise programme with little flexibility for local instructor creativity and charisma in a profit-focused environment” might be more like the truth.

If you are keen for a baby class and this is the main one in your area, I’d really recommend waiting until at least 3 months - the “from birth” and mixed-aged session seems just another part of the profit maximisation - both mine and another 8/9 week old were not ready for this session yet.

I went to Charlotte Gill’s class in Brighton and it was completely brilliant! Charlotte is such a professional and the classes were so entertaining and uplifting. I was impressed by how much she fitted into each session - handing out lots of different objects, setting up scenes in the middle of the space, lovely songs and information on baby’s development.
I went to a few different classes locally and baby sensory was definitely the best. It provided me a really valuable opportunity to bond with my baby that I’ll always cherish.
I took my 3 month old until she was one - if that wasn’t the cut off age I would have carried on going - and I’m signed up again with my new baby for January.

Me and my baby have been attending Baby sensory Ipswich with Chloe. We both absolutely love your classes. Thank you Chloe

We attended Baby Sensory Bristol East with Helen and it was a real highlight of the week.

My baby loved the classes which were clearly carefully thought out and prepared each week. The activities were really varied, there were lots of lovely photos opportunities and Helen was great at explaining the benefits of different activities eg baby signing.

Helen is warm, bubbly and welcoming.

As a busy mum of three this was an hour in the week I could have some one on one time with my baby doing some great activities without having to think or organise anything myself!

Thank you for a brilliant year if classes, and we highly recommend!

We signed up for the spring term of baby sensory with Katy in Bagshot. My son is nearly 5 months old & we have both thoroughly enjoyed every class😊. The classes have been so valuable in my sons development & provide space for quality, fun time with him. Katy is very approachable,friendly and has a loveable warm personality. Classes are full of engaging activities with sensory equipment, toys, lights & music. You can see how much hard work goes into preparing and delivering such beautiful classes. Thank you Katy for your time & effort, we will definitely be continuing classes in the summer term 😊

I attended a course of classes with my little boy last year and initially thought these classes were well structured and enjoyable. I had some unfortunate news that my dad had a heart attack and was unable to attend a class. A few weeks later my little boy was rushed into hospital and again I was unable to attend the class I had previously booked up front for the whole term. I contacted Sarah who offered me a class on each occasion the same week? This was impossible for me to do as I was looking after my dad who lives 170 miles away and when my son was in hospital he was too ill to attend. At no stage was Sarah prepared to give me any money back and was quite adamant about the whole thing. We did in the end get an invite to an extra session as Sarah had a cancellation which I was happy about. A few weeks later my little boy was rushed back into hospital again and we had another missed class. Again I contacted Sarah who was not willing to refund me for any missed classes so I asked if I could go to a few the following few weeks? Because it was the end of term Sarah wasn't willing for us to join the new term of classes and said they don't do that? I then paid extra for the Chrismas party and because all the roads were closed in the area couldn't find a way over to the barn as I am not familiar to the area. Again Sarah wasn't prepared to refund me for this and I was utterly disappointed for my little boy who missed out on his Christmas Party. All I can say is Sarah was happy to take all my money upfront and showed no compassion for the unfortunate circumstances I was in. Bitterly disappointed with a company that has such raving reviews. I never went back and would only advise anyone who is looking to attend to do it pay as you go. Jade was amazing and was a real natural with all the babies and like I said the classes are very good. But please Bere in mind, it's costly having a baby and to pay for classes that you can't attend because of family emergencies and not get any refund is shocking and quite clearly Sarah is very money orientated. Real shame as I'm sure my little boy would have lived some of the classes. As a result if this experience I never block book classes just in case my money us grabbed and I can't get any return.

I took my little girl to this group from 6 and half months and we have just graduated and what an amazing experience it was. Every session was different and allowed the babies to explore new activities. There was such a huge variety of things for babies to see and learn from. I was blown away so it must be even more special for babies to see through their eyes. The sessions was amazing because of the lovely Stephanie who is welcoming every time you come , kind hearted caring and happy. She's the perfect person to be running such an amazing group for babies. I really can’t thank her enough for everything . I took my baby at 6 months I wish I had taken her a lot sooner because newborn babies would absolutely love this experience too. Thanks again Stephanie at West Bromwich . ❤️

If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would! Helen is amazing and has taught me so many new skills and ways to bond with my baby! Thank you for such amazing inspirational classes and tips for things we can do at home. We will miss you xxxx
