About this class
Every Thursday morning from 10:00 to 11:00, Lindsey runs Baby Sensory at The Assembly Halls in West Wickham — part of her Beckenham franchise that also covers Eden Park. The current term runs under the 'Say Hello to the Sun' theme, which is also the name of the signature song that opens every session across the programme.
The programme was founded by Dr Lin Day following more than four decades of research into early child development. Each session works through a detailed lesson plan covering what your baby touches, sees, hears, smells, and feels. Activities include creative play, baby massage, tummy time, movement, textures, scents, and music. The sensory area is arranged to match the distance at which a young baby can see clearly, and the volume of instruments is measured to make sure nothing is too loud for infant ears. Every session closes by mimicking the sounds of the womb — a deliberate wind-down after an hour of stimulation. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point.
The programme covers babies from birth up to 13 months. Families with a newborn under three months can also access the Hello Baby workshop through the same franchise. Hello Baby uses baby massage, reflexology, yoga, sensory integration, and containment, and includes a dedicated session on understanding the main causes of colic and recognising different baby cries. Both programmes treat the parent as the learner: the aim is to send you home with a growing collection of activities you can repeat throughout the week.
