About this class
Baby Sensory classes at Grange Farm Center are run by Gemma, who led primary-age children as a classroom teacher for over 13 years before joining Baby Sensory. The franchise covers Epping, Chigwell and Fairlop, with Grange Farm Center in Chigwell among its venues.
Classes are open to babies from birth up to 13 months. Each session follows a detailed lesson plan that accounts for everything a baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. A signature song opens every class, and the session then moves through creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, visual stimulation, textures, scents and music. Sensory signing is woven in throughout — a practical set of communication cues that parents and babies can use together from very early on. Instrument volumes are measured to make sure nothing is uncomfortably loud, and the sensory area is arranged to match the focal distance at which young babies see most clearly.
Sessions end with womb sounds to settle babies gently. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point, and most of the ideas covered — from massage to simple songs and rhymes — are designed to be repeated at home during the week.
For families with a baby under three months, Gemma's franchise also offers Hello Baby, a separate programme designed specifically for the birth-to-three-month stage, with workshops covering newborn behavioural cues, soothing techniques, colic management and massage.
