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

Highlight of the week!
Attended for 6 months, and Thursdays were the favourite day of the week. Marie is fabulous, engages with all parents/grandparents and of course all the babies. Always happy to see you and is super proud of the development of your child each week. Unfortunately, we have to finish going now my daughter is 9 and a half months old, due to going back to work. Both myself and her will miss Marie's enthusiasm, laughs and new ways to entertain.
Would definitely recommend, and should we be lucky enough to have any more children, we will definitely be booking on again with Marie.

My little girl has been going to baby sensory classes from 11 weeks old, she’s now in her last term before she’s too old to attend anymore! She absolutely loves these classes and gets excited as soon as we arrive at the venue. We have enjoyed every single class, the activities are great, they’re the perfect length for holding babies attention, all based around development, and many can be recreated at home. The effort that goes into the themes and activities is amazing and Sarah, who runs our group, is clearly so passionate as well as caring and funny, and all the babies absolutely love her!! I’m sad our time has come to an end with baby sensory, but I’d recommend to anyone and everyone.

I have been taking my baby girl for a few terms now to baby sensory (Bristol East - Kingswood). Our teacher is Helen and she is so warm, friendly, enthusiastic and more, we could not ask for a better teacher! We look forward to our different themed activity each week and we love all the photo opportunities! It is very breastfeeding friendly and Helen always reminds us to feed our babies whenever and not to wait. My baby loves the class and also loves Helen! The other ladies that attend are also lovely and I have made friends at this group!

My baby and I attended classes at baby sensory dartford gravesend and baby sensory bexley from when he was 5 weeks old to graduation at one year and they were amazing. My baby was always so engaged and the activities really aided his development through his first year. It was a wonderful bonding experience for us and we’re always recommending them to anyone we know with new babies!

Jess from baby sensory devises and westbury is truly one of a kind! She treats everyone with such warming nature and the babies all adore her in class! My little boy went to baby sensory with Jess for 8 months until he graduated, and we loved every second of it! It was always the highlight of our week, so much so Jess even hosted his first birthday party! All our friends and family had so much fun and Jess made it totally individual and unique to my little monkey! Can’t thank her enough for all her hard work!

We attended Baby Sensory Bristol East and can't say enough good things about Abi, Helen and the classes! There was a difference theme each week, they provided amazing sensory stimulation for the babies and were kind, friendly and approachable every week. We will certainly miss going to the group and will be recommending it to all new mums!

Me and my boy really enjoyed this group for a year , Helen was so good different and exciting themes every week , we will definitely miss going to this group

There is literally no better baby class out there. I watched my baby go from a shy little dot to the most confident toddler due to all of the socialisation with other babies and activities that brought her development on massively, but that’s what you get from any class from the baby sensory franchise. What’s special about baby sensory Dudley is Terri. Out of all the baby classes I’ve been to (which is a lot I’m quite the connoisseur) there has been NOBODY who even came close to the energy and commitment that Terri gives to her babies. There’s following the class structure, but then there’s taking it and making it your own, which Terri certainly does. She goes above and beyond to give you as well as your babies such a personal experience. She sets up photo opportunities in her perfect exploratory play area and creates her own extra props to demonstrate to you how you can make things at home on a budget which is brilliant because most of my baby’s favourite toys are home made shakers and the pressure to buy everything new is immense. Terri is always so encouraging of moms talking and getting to know each other in classes which helps the loneliness maternity leave can bring as well as turning the class into a lovely friendly little community. I only stopped going to classes because my baby is too old! Cannot express how much I recommend Terri’s classes, if you only choose to do one class, make it this one.

Baby sensory Dudley with Terri is the most amazing class for babies under 13 months. The journey myself and my daughter have been on the past year at Terri's classes has created memories that will stay with me and Daisy for a life time. These classes really help with bonding and learning about your child in those early hazy scary postpartum days, where the warmth from Terri and her grand supply of props and passion for helping to shape young minds are a much needed support and comfort. I've personally seen Terri disinfect all items and props between classes. Which is fab as my daughter was a small preemie with not the best immune system when she started, baby sensory Dudley cares for your littles and this shows and took a lot of my anxiety about leaving the house away. We're truly going to miss coming to class every week and smiling from ear to ear from the fun. Daisy has come along leaps and bounds in confidence and abilities since starting baby sensory, her end goal was always to be able to crawl to Terri at the front for a cuddle. This was met with joy as she truly invests in all our baby's journeys. If you don't go to baby sensory Dudley you are truly missing out on unlocking your baby's full potential in their first 13 months. 10/10 stars

Baby Sensory South Harrow - these classes with Anita are honestly the highlight of my week. The are SO MUCH FUN, both for the babies and for the parents.

The classes are well structured and Anita guides you through each activity/song like a pro. Anita is so enthusiastic and thats what really makes these classes. She is firm but fair and I love that.

She promotes feeding of any kind for the babies, and I have often breastfed my baby in class, without feeling intimated.

I highly recommend these classes!
