A NEW class is running which uses lights, textures, songs, bubbles, massage and dance to captivate babies’ senses and aid their development.

Classes for parents in the award-winning Baby Sensory programme are running at Thirsk and Sowerby Town Hall, for babies aged from newborns to 13 months.

They are run by Judith Donnelly and daughter Gemma Stuart, a paediatric nurse.

Judith, who has a background in corporate training said: “It’s about introducing babies to a world of sensory delights, helping them learn and develop. Members can come and relax and meet other new parents. Each session is packed full of a variety of sense-stimulating sights, textures and smells.”

The classes run on week day mornings. For more information contact Judith on 07793 763419 or email; northallerton@babysensory.co.uk
