UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / February 05, 2026 / Dr Lin Day, founder of Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense, has been named one of the Top 100 Influential People in the UK in recognition of her enduring contribution to early childhood development - and of her profound impact on families, practitioners and entire communities.

The accolade forms part of the Top 100 Influential People programme, created by Awards Intelligence to recognise individuals whose work actively improves society. Selected by an independent judging panel of leaders from a wide range of sectors, the programme seeks to amplify voices that are making a genuine and lasting difference - often beyond the spotlight of mainstream media.

Dr Lin has dedicated her career to understanding how babies and young children learn, connect and thrive in their earliest years. Through Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense, she has helped shape evidence-informed, developmentally appropriate programmes that support not only children but also parents and carers at a formative stage of family life. 

WOW World Group, which delivers these programmes through award-winning franchises across several countries, continues to see the real-world impact of this approach every day. Classes are designed to be inclusive, supportive and accessible, giving families practical tools they can use beyond the classroom while fostering confidence, connection and community.

Commenting on the honour, Dr Lin Day said, “This award represents the joy, love, and privilege of supporting families over the years. I am truly grateful to the practitioners, colleagues, and communities who have shaped this journey, and whose care and belief in supporting families in the early years, continue to make a positive difference.”

Judges praised both the reach and integrity of Dr Lin’s work. One judge commented, “The quality of entrants this year was incredibly strong - so it is our pleasure to confirm that our judges feel that you are a truly influential individual that affects and impacts society for the better.”

The Top 100 Influential People programme was founded by Awards Intelligence founder Mark Llewellyn-Slade. At its core is the belief that those working to make the world better deserve recognition, encouragement, and a platform to share their message.

Dr Lin’s inclusion reinforces the growing recognition of early years development as a cornerstone of societal wellbeing, and the importance of investing time, care and expertise in the earliest stages of life - where the impact can be felt for generations to come.
