About this class
Three Baby Sensory sessions run every Monday at St Michael & All Angels on Pond Road in SE3, part of the Blackheath-Eltham franchise that also covers New Eltham, Catford, Eltham, and Hither Green. The first slot is 10:30–11:30am for ages from birth to 13 months, followed by an 11:50am–12:50pm class for birth to 7 months, then a final 1:10–2:10pm session again open to birth to 13 months — so there's usually a time that fits, whatever the morning looks like.
Each session follows a programme developed by Dr Lin Day (PhD, M.Phil, FETC, PGCE, BSc, Dip Ed) and is built around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle, with deliberate breathing space woven in. A typical hour mixes creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, and texture exploration with original songs and rhymes — the music was composed by Dr Lin Day herself, and instruments are checked for decibel levels so nothing is too loud for small ears. The visual play area is arranged at the distance a young baby actually focuses, rather than an adult's arm's length. Every session closes with womb sounds to help babies settle. Weekly themes rotate through 40 core lesson plans plus seasonal and special event sessions, so each visit is different.
Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point — the programme is built around a baby's rhythms rather than requiring them to stay still. For booking or availability, call 07468 587430 or email blackheath-eltham@babysensory.co.uk.

What happens in a session?
A session typically includes sensory play with lights, textures, and scents; massage and tummy time; movement activities; songs and rhymes using original music composed by the programme's founder; and sensory signing to help babies and parents communicate from birth. Each class includes a Bonding Time segment and an Exploratory Play Area. The session closes with womb sounds to help babies settle, and every week follows a different theme.
Can I feed or settle my baby during class?
Yes — parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point. The session is structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle.
What if I have a newborn under three months?
Baby Sensory offers a Hello Baby sub-programme specifically designed for ages from birth to 13 months to three months. It covers observation sessions to help parents read their baby's cues, comfort and colic workshops, and baby massage. Contact the Blackheath-Eltham team to ask whether Hello Baby is currently running alongside the Monday sessions at St Michael & All Angels.
