Experience

After graduating from University, I was lucky enough to be offered a placement as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan. During this fabulous opportunity of learning another culture, I met an Indonesian man who swept me away to Sumatra where we got married. I continued teaching in local schools, but soon decided that I really needed to return home. By this time, our daughter was born and I found part time work working for the Council in Culture & Leisure. I have been in the Library service for 10 years and it is here that I realised my forte was organising children's events. One day a few mums asked me if I had heard of Baby Sensory and after a bit of research I was convinced that I could have my cake and eat it. The program is so varied and there is not one week in the programme which is the same. What could be better? I get to work with babies and I get to deliver a fantastic class! Perfect. Although I have just begun my Baby Sensory journey, I can truly say that it is rewarding watching mums and babies enjoy the one hour at my Baby Sensory Class.

As we run on rolling terms we will just continue the cancelled class at the next session.  If the cancelled session was supposed to be your last session because your baby is graduating / you are returning to work/ any other reason for not being able to attend anymore, then you will receive a full refund for the missed session.

•    In certain exceptional circumstances Baby Sensory may be prevented from running classes due to situations beyond their control. These may include floods or treacherous driving conditions (snow or ice) which would pose a risk to our class leaders and parents if they ventured onto the roads.
