I am often asked, “Where do you store all your equipment?” So I thought I would show you: this is my Baby Sensory Treasure Trove. (And YES, I know I have a LOT of equipment 🤣)

Did you know that at Baby Sensory we use lots of traditional nursery rhymes and songs to help boost language learning and speech development? We also provide loads of ideas for you to create easy ‘play at home’ props to use with your baby. This coming week we have some great ideas and things to play with along with all our usual exciting activities. I am so excited to see you soon!

I am a big supporter of good research. I think it is vital for helping develop safe practices, give guidance and develop new approaches and understanding of child development. So I thought I would share this opportunity to help assist with some more research here. But don’t forget there is another study with Hannah going on that I have posted about below too! Hope some of you can help these researcher out!

🐰🐥Easter is nearly here and whilst your baby may be too young to decorate a hard-boiled egg or go on an egg hunt, there are still plenty of ways to make Easter an educational and enjoyable event. We have a few ideas to get you started! [Source: Dr Lin Day article]

💛💚💛A Gentle Reminder that the clocks go forward an hour tonight. 💚💛💚

The good news is if your baby usually wakes early it will officially be an hour later than usual! Win!! And it also means it is SPRING! Looking forward to warmer days and hopefully some sunshine. (You have to take even the smallest wins sometimes 🤣🥳.)

Happy Spring!

Happy International Women’s Day! Celebrating all the women out there who are showing up in anyway they can! It doesn’t have to be perfect or brilliant, you just have to show up as you and that is success!! Give yourselves a bit of grace and know you are right where you need to be.

This International Women's Day we are celebrating our Baby Sensory® Founder, Dr Lin Day.

Baby Sensory® initially grew out of a series of parent-and-baby classes she first introduced in October 2003 in a village hall in Sherfield English, Hampshire.

Dr Lin Day said, “When I look back to those early days, what matters most to me is not how much the programme has grown, but how deeply it has supported families. Baby Sensory® has always been about valuing babies as capable learners and ensuring parents feel seen, supported and confident."

Thank you Dr Lin for all of your hard work, support and knowledge!

Generations is a brand-new, Innovate UK–supported initiative from What’s On 4 Kids and we’re incredibly proud to be one of the founding partners helping bring it to life.

Generations is the UK’s first and only dedicated platform designed specifically to help grandparents and their grandchildren discover local children’s activities while also supporting activity providers to ensure grandparents feel confident, included, and genuinely welcome when they attend sessions.

As grandparents play an increasingly important role in family life and childcare, this project recognises just how vital it is to create spaces where every caregiver feels valued.
