About this class
On Tuesday mornings at St Anselm's Parish Centre, the Baby Sensory NW Kent franchise runs two back-to-back sessions: Older Babies (6–13 months) from 09:45 to 10:45, followed by Younger Babies (0–6 months) from 11:10 to 12:10. Both run term time only. The local team — Hannah, Mel, Renee, and Kelly — has been running classes in this part of Kent since 2009.
Each session is structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle. Activities draw on creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, visual and texture exploration, scent, and music — all set to original songs composed by the programme's founder, Dr Lin Day. The sensory area is arranged to match the distance at which young babies can see objects clearly, the instruments used have been tested for safe decibel levels, and every class closes with womb-sound soothing. Feeding and cuddling during the session are actively welcomed.
If your baby is under three months, the Hello Baby sub-programme — available through the same local team — is designed specifically for that newborn stage. It covers three distinct areas: observing and interpreting your baby's behavioural cues; understanding colic, crying patterns, and comfort techniques; and gentle touch through massage, reflexology, and yoga. Sessions at St Anselm's are priced at £11.50. The same NW Kent team also covers Gravesend, Greenhithe, and other nearby locations, so if Tuesdays on West Hill are not always convenient, it is worth asking them what else is running.
