Baby sensory classes are returning to The Mall after proving a hug hit with little ones and their parents.

The international and multi-award winning baby development programme launched in the shopping centre in July, offering structured sessions designed specifically for babies from birth to 13 months.

Led by Charlotte Bamber, each activity is carefully designed with baby’s development in mind, based on years of educational and scientific research.

Fibre optic light shows, music, glowing bouncy balls, bubbles, bells, songs, rainbows, parachutes, puppet shows and tickly feathers are just a few of the activities on offer.

Thomas Culshaw, who has attended the sessions in The Mall with his daughter Lucy, said: "Charlotte is so passionate about what she does and Baby Sensory is a great way for Lucy to learn and develop important skills whilst having fun."

Mia Coogan, came along with son Casper and said: "We’ve really enjoyed attending Baby Sensory and we will definitely be back when they start again in September."

Charlotte Bamber who owns Baby Sensory Blackburn and runs the classes is looking forward to meeting new parents in September.

She said: "We have been warmly welcomed at The Mall and I can’t wait to get going again."

The classes will return on Friday September 13, taking place in The Mall’s training room, which can be found at the top of the stairs opposite Home & Fragrance.

Sessions last 45 minutes, with the next term being seven weeks long and costing £45.50 for all seven sessions.

There may be limited drop in slots available, which are £7.00 per week.
