About this class
The Monday session at Epsom Methodist Church on Ashley Road runs from 14:30 to 15:20 and follows the Baby Sensory programme structure: a play-rest-play rhythm suited to the natural attention span of babies from birth through to 13 months. The programme splits into two developmental stages — birth to 6 months, and 7 to 13 months — so activities are pitched at the right level whether your baby is a few weeks old or close to their first birthday.
A typical session moves through creative play, gentle massage, tummy time, movement, and exploratory textures. The music in class has had its decibel level measured so it is engaging without being overwhelming, and the sensory display is arranged at the focal distance a young baby actually uses. Sessions include sensory signing — simple gestures that support communication before speech arrives — as well as original Baby Sensory songs and traditional rhymes. Each class has a dedicated Bonding Time section and a slot for practical tips from the leader. Sessions close with womb sounds to soothe babies before you head off.
Cindy Smallwood holds a Post-Graduate Diploma in Childcare and previously served as Children's Centre Manager at St Martins. She has run this franchise since 2011. Activities are designed so that babies with physical or sensory differences can fully take part alongside everyone else, and you are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the session. The Epsom venue draws families from Stoneleigh, Ewell, Chessington, and Ashtead; if Monday does not suit, Cindy also runs sessions in Stoneleigh on Wednesdays and Cobham on Thursdays.

Common questions
What age is this class for?
The class is open to babies from birth up to 13 months. The programme runs in two developmental stages — birth to 6 months, and 7 to 13 months — so activities are appropriate whether your baby is a few weeks old or approaching their first birthday. If your baby is 0–3 months, ask Cindy about the Hello Baby sub-programme, which is specifically designed for that early stage and includes observations, colic and comfort workshops, and a baby massage element.
When does the Monday class run and is it term time only?
The Monday session at Epsom Methodist Church runs from 14:30 to 15:20. Classes run during term time only, so there are no sessions during school holidays. Check with Cindy for the current term dates.
