Northampton mum takes over Baby Sensory classes after attending just three sessions with daughter

A Northampton mum who attended just three Baby Sensory classes with her daughter before deciding she wanted to run them herself is preparing to take over the local business.

Danielle Inman will take over Baby Sensory Northampton from Saturday, November 28, hoping to welcome more families and help parents learn about their babies' development.

Having spent much of her working life with children, including working in a nursery, Danielle was already familiar with early years development.

However, attending Baby Sensory with her second child gave her a fresh perspective on how babies learn through play.

She was particularly impressed by the research behind the activities and decided to apply for the Northampton franchise after just three sessions.

Danielle said: “I went along thinking I knew what to expect, but I was surprised by how much I learnt, even with my second child.

“It made me look at play differently and gave me ideas about what I could do with my daughter at home.”

Baby Sensory offers classes for babies from birth to 13 months, using music, movement, lights and textures to support their development.

Alongside running the classes, Danielle is also working with Baby Basics Northampton to organise a collection of essential items for local families in need.

The initiative follows her attendance at an event about fostering, which inspired her to offer practical support.

She hopes residents and businesses will contribute to the appeal.
