WHAT ARE SENSORY CLASSES?
How old does my child need to be to attend?
The great thing about these sensory classes is that your little one can attend right from birth! In a formal class setting, your baby will be placed into an age-specific group that takes their developmental stage into account. However, if you’re attending a class as a one-off, you might notice a wider range of ages among the babies present.
What happens at a sensory class with your baby?
These classes are designed to engage your baby’s senses through a variety of activities. The class typically begins with a welcome song to signal the start, followed by sensory play sessions led by the class leader. You’ll find plenty of props and equipment used throughout, including bubbles, lights and sounds.
Playtimes sensory classes follow a structured plan focused on key developmental milestones for your baby. There’s also time at the end of the class for your little one to explore the sensory environment on their own in a safe play area.
What are the benefits of sensory classes for babies and toddlers?
During these classes, your baby will develop self-awareness and an awareness of others around them. Their physical skills, especially coordination, will improve as they engage in activities like tummy time, physical touch, and active movement. Additionally, your baby’s communication skills will be nurtured through singing and nursery rhymes.
What is the cost?
The cost of these classes is £12.55 per session, and you can book them in blocks of consecutive sessions or as a trial class, subject to availability.
What can I expect during a Playtimes sensory class?
You can expect purposeful play activities, music and movement, colourful lights, bubbles, dressing up, fun props, imaginative play, puppets, parachute activities, eye-tracking and coordination exercises, and speaking and listening development techniques.
Plus, there’s a ‘selfie corner’ where you can take photos of yourself and your child enjoying Playtimes!
