We can design a party full of fun, bright, inspiring, colourful exciting activities that are specifically made to stimulate babies’ senses.

Parents are often advised to encourage their babies to have "tummy time" by health visitors and we 100% agree.
It's really important and here are 10 good reasons for encouraging tummy time:
1. Encourages play between the parent and the baby.... 2. Promotes healthy development of the central nervous system, brain and skull. 3. Strengthens neck, back and upper body muscles. 4. Relieves stress and tension in the joints and muscles during growth spurts. 5. Improves balance and postural control; the foundation for all movement skills. 6. Encourages babies to lift their heads against gravity and to take weight on their arms and hands, which increases strength and resistance. 7. Increases confidence and independence. 8. Stimulates and enhances visual development. 9. Aids healthy development. 10. Leads on to crawling, an intellectually important developmental step not to be missed!

😂 What are your highlights of the week? (Other than Baby Sensory, of course!)

There is only one Baby Sensory.

Baby Sensory - we've done the research so you enjoy the fun....
While each session is different, we’ve structured the routine to follow the natural rest-play-rest cycle of babies to provide predictability, comfort and security. The routine avoids over or under-stimulation and is useful because you know what to expect each week. However, if your baby needs to feed half-way through or sleep, that’s fine too!

Wonderful reviews like this make my day 💛

We love telling you what we're doing and why at Baby Sensory and we LOVE bubbles and our babies' reaction to them....
TOP Three REASONS WHY BUBBLES ARE AMAZING!
1) Hand – eye coordination – watching, pointing and reaching out to floating bubbles is a great way to develop this important skill.
... 2) Speech development – blowing is the first step to speech development. Say ‘bubbles’ and ‘pop’ to help start early speech sounds of ‘b’ and ‘p’ that form in the front of the mouth with lips.
3) Body Awareness – bubbles fall on all parts of your body - arms, legs, head and nose - you can pop them with your fingers and toes!
BUBBLES ARE BRILLIANT!
