About this class
Fridays at Hildenborough Village Hall bring parents and babies together for Baby Sensory, led by Marisa through the Sevenoaks franchise. The village hall on Riding Lane is one of three venues Marisa runs across the area — the other two being Riverhead on Tuesdays and Sevenoaks on Thursdays — so there is a weekly option whichever day suits your week best.
Each session follows a detailed lesson plan and is structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle. Expect a mix of creative play, gentle massage, tummy time, movement, songs, and sensory signing — the last of these giving babies and parents a shared vocabulary of gestures from very early on. The music draws on original songs composed by Dr Lin Day alongside traditional rhymes, all chosen to build early speech and language. The instruments are checked against decibel limits to stay gentle on young ears, and the sensory play area is arranged at the distance a young baby actually focuses on. Neither detail is accidental: the whole programme is built around what babies' developing senses can manage.
For newborns, Marisa also offers Hello Baby — a separate programme for ages from birth to 13 months to three months. It runs across three strands: observation (learning to read your newborn's cues and identify their sensitivities), a crying and colic comfort workshop, and hands-on massage drawing on reflexology and yoga techniques. Whether your baby is brand new or a wriggling seven-month-old, the activities are adapted to meet them where they are developmentally. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle at any point in the session — there is no expectation to put your baby down.

What happens in a session?
Each session follows a structured lesson plan built around your baby's natural play-rest-play rhythm. Activities include creative play, tummy time, massage, movement, visual stimulation, textures, and music — original songs composed by Dr Lin Day alongside traditional rhymes. Every class includes Bonding Time, Expert Tips, and an Exploratory Play Area, and ends with womb-sound soothing to settle babies gently. There are 40 core lesson plans across the programme plus seasonal specials, so sessions vary week to week.
Do I need to bring anything?
No specialist equipment is needed. Wear clothes you are comfortable moving around on the floor in, and bring whatever you would normally carry for a session out — nappies, a change of clothes, a muslin. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during class.
