About this class
Liverpool Road Community Centre sits inside the Samuel Lewis Trust Estate, on the corner of Liverpool Road and Laycock Street in Angel — an address that sounds institutional until you arrive and find the hall tucked past the flats at the back. Baby Sensory classes run here every Tuesday, with two age-specific sessions: ages from birth to 13 months at 10:45 am (finishing at 11:35 am), and the birth-to-6-months group at 1:15 pm (finishing at 2:05 pm). Both run weekly at £11.75 and £11.25 per class respectively. The Islington, Camden and Hackney franchise runs these sessions — reach them at islington@babysensory.co.uk or 07764759211.
The programme was created by Dr Lin Day, whose credentials span nursing (since 1974), special education, nursery management, and post-graduate biomedical science research at the University of Southampton. She is currently a Senior Associate of the Royal Society of Medicine. That breadth matters: each 50-minute class is built around a detailed lesson plan drawn from 40 core themes plus seasonal specials, and the structure follows a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle rather than a single sustained burst of stimulation.
A typical session moves through creative play, tummy time, movement, textures, and a dedicated exploratory play area. Original songs composed by Dr Lin Day — alongside traditional rhymes — run through the whole class to support early speech and language, and sensory signing gives babies a way to communicate before words arrive. The instruments used have been checked for volume, and visual displays are positioned at the distance a young baby can actually focus on. Every session closes with calming womb sounds. Practitioners at Baby Sensory classes are trained through the programme; many first came as parents themselves.
You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point. The class naturally becomes a place to meet other parents from across Islington, Camden and Hackney who are navigating the same early months.
