About this class
Baby Sensory at the WOW Centre Bexley runs from its own standalone venue on Davis Way in Sidcup — a bright, spacious space with soft flooring, a buggy park, lift access to the second floor, and free parking outside. Kelly, Renee, and Karen lead sessions across a timetable that offers separate streams for younger babies (0–6 months), older babies (5–13 months), and mixed-age groups (0–13 months). Tuesday and Wednesday slots are confirmed; classes run further into the week as well. For newborns aged 0–3 months, the Hello Baby sub-programme runs alongside the main timetable, with a specific focus on understanding your baby's cues and building the parent-baby bond from the very start.
Each session is structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle. A typical hour moves through creative play, tummy time, movement, massage, and sensory exploration — textures, scents, light, and sound — before drawing to a close with music and the soothing sounds of the womb. The instruments used have been measured for decibel level so they are not too loud for young ears, and the sensory display area is arranged at the distance from which babies actually focus. Songs blend original compositions by Dr Lin Day with traditional rhymes, chosen to develop early speech and language skills. Sensory signing activities run throughout, giving babies a way to communicate from birth.
The Summer Term runs from the week commencing 1 June through to the week commencing 27 July, with a Father's Day special event on 20 June at the WOW Centre. All materials are provided — you only need to bring your baby. Cafes sit within a mile of the venue if you want to make a morning of it, and the 492 bus runs nearby for those coming without a car.
