About this class
Three Wednesday sessions run at Vera Fletcher Hall in Thames Ditton, each pitched to a different age group: 10:30am is for ages from birth to 13 months, noon is for 0–6 months, and 1:30pm takes the full 0–13 month range. All three are part of the Baby Sensory Teddington franchise — which also covers Hampton Hill and Walton-on-Thames — with Jo Jackson as the local contact. Current term, Summer [2], runs from 1st June to 17th July, with no classes the week commencing 29th June; the Summer Sizzlers term follows from 20th July to 28th August on a reduced timetable.
A Baby Sensory session is not a free-play drop-in. Every class follows a structured lesson plan built around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle, moving through creative play, tummy time, movement, visual activities, textures, scents, and music. The musical element is worth noting: original songs composed by Dr Lin Day — including Say Hello to the Sun and Wave Goodbye — sit alongside traditional rhymes, all chosen to encourage early speech and language. Instruments are checked for decibel level so the sound stays comfortable for small ears, and the sensory display area is arranged at the precise distance at which a young baby can focus. Each session closes by mimicking womb sounds to soothe babies before you leave.
For the youngest attendees (birth to three months), the Hello Baby strand weaves in observation, gentle touch techniques, and practical workshops on understanding newborn cues. Activities are adapted for babies with physical or sensory differences, and parents are welcome to feed or cuddle at any point during the session. Jo Jackson can be reached directly on 07494 660026 or at teddington@babysensory.co.uk — useful if you want to confirm which session suits your baby's current stage before booking.

Common questions
Can I try a session before committing to a full term?
Yes. A three-week trial costs £42, or you can attend a single drop-in session for £15. A full term is £81, reduced to £72 for existing customers during the priority re-booking window.
How do I book?
Bookings for the Vera Fletcher Hall classes go through the Baby Sensory Teddington website at babysensory.com/teddington. You can also contact Jo Jackson directly on 07494 660026 or email teddington@babysensory.co.uk to check availability or ask about the right session for your baby's age.
Which session should I choose for my baby's age?
The 10:30am class is for ages from birth to 13 months; the noon class is for 0–6 months. If your baby sits right on the boundary, the 1:30pm session covers the full 0–13 month range. Newborns from birth to three months can also access the Hello Baby strand, which focuses on gentle observation and touch techniques suited to very young babies.
What happens in a typical session?
Sessions move through a sequence of activities — tummy time, sensory exploration with textures and scents, movement, songs and rhymes, and sensory signing. Each follows a detailed lesson plan structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play rhythm. There are 40 core lesson plans in the programme plus 28 seasonal ones, so the content shifts across the term. Every session ends with womb sounds to soothe babies before you leave.
What should I bring?
A change of clothes for your baby and anything they rely on to settle — a comforter or a dummy, for example. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the session, so bring whatever you normally use for that too.
