About this class
Baby Sensory at CUFOS is run by Vanya Zaeva, who holds a Master's degree in Psychology and is a member of the British Psychological Society. She has been leading classes at this venue since October 2016, and parents describe her as friendly and welcoming to all.
The venue sits at the top of The Avenue in Muswell Hill — right beside Alexandra Park, the playground, and the park café — with free on-street parking nearby and a short walk from Muswell Hill Broadway and Alexandra Park Road.
Each session covers the full range of what Baby Sensory is known for: tummy time, massage, movement, visual stimulation, sensory textures and scents, and a mix of original and traditional songs written to encourage early speech. Sensory signing runs throughout. The session follows a play-rest-play structure rather than a relentless rotation, with a built-in breathing space and an exploratory play area for babies ready to investigate independently. Every class closes with the gentle womb-like sounds the programme uses to settle babies at the end.
Classes run on Tuesdays at 10:00–10:40 and 11:55–12:40, and on Fridays at 10:00–10:40 and 11:00–11:40, term time only. Across the year the programme draws on 40 core lesson plans plus 28 seasonal and special event plans. The franchise covers Muswell Hill, North Finchley, and Hampstead Garden Suburb.
