About this class
Baby Sensory at Church of the Good Shepherd runs every Tuesday across four time slots: 9:45 am, 11:05 am, and 12:25 pm for ages from birth to 13 months, and a dedicated 1:45 pm session for those from birth to 7 months. The venue is on Sand Hill in Farnborough, and each session runs for a full hour.
Every class follows a structured lesson plan developed by Dr Lin Day, whose credentials span nursing, special education, and post-graduate research in biomedical science at the University of Southampton. The session weaves together creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, and visual exploration, all paced around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle — so quieter moments are built in rather than bolted on. Music runs throughout: a blend of original compositions and traditional songs and rhymes chosen to support early speech and language development. Instruments are used at measured decibel levels to keep things comfortable for small ears, and the sensory area is arranged to match the distance at which a young baby actually focuses.
The Camberley franchise, which runs these Farnborough classes alongside sessions in Camberley and Darby Green, was a finalist in the What's on 4 Kids Awards 2023 for Most Loved Activity Leader in the South East, and Highly Commended in the same category in 2024.
Newborns from birth to three months can also join via the Hello Baby sub-programme. This sits alongside the main Baby Sensory classes and offers three distinct strands: observation sessions to help parents interpret their baby's cues and identify early abilities; a crying, colic and comfort workshop covering the main causes of colic and techniques to help; and a baby massage programme that includes massage, reflexology, and yoga. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the session.

What actually happens during the hour?
A session moves through creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, textures, scents, and music — structured around a baby's natural play-rest-play cycle, so there are quieter moments built in alongside the more active ones. Songs and rhymes (original compositions alongside traditional pieces) run throughout. Every class includes Bonding Time, Expert Tips, and an Exploratory Play Area, and sessions close with womb sounds to help babies settle.
What should I bring?
Anything you need for feeds is worth having to hand — you are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the session. A change of clothes for your baby is sensible for any class that involves textures and play. The local team at camberley@babysensory.co.uk can answer questions about what the session setup looks like before you attend.
Can my baby take part if they have a physical or sensory impairment?
Yes. Activities in the programme are adapted to ensure all babies, including those with physical or sensory impairments, can fully participate. If you have specific questions ahead of your first session, the local team will be best placed to advise.
