About this class
Mornington Hall sits near the junction of The Green Walk and Queens Walk in Chingford — about six minutes on foot from Chingford station, with free parking on the surrounding roads and pay-and-display options behind the Co-op and along Station Road. Inside, there is plenty of buggy space, a baby-change room and disabled toilets, which makes arriving with a small baby a good deal less fraught. Tuesday sessions run between 9:30am and 2:00pm, covering the full Baby Sensory age span from birth to 13 months.
The classes are part of the Baby Sensory Loughton & Chingford franchise, run by Madeleine Grand. Madeleine came to Baby Sensory from a background in bar and restaurant management, launched her franchise in January 2010 — originally in Walthamstow — and now covers Loughton and Chingford. Sessions are structured around a detailed lesson plan, yet relaxed enough that you are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby whenever they need it.
Every session opens with a signature song, then moves through a mix of creative play, massage, tummy time, movement activities, visual stimulation, textures, scents and music — each element designed to engage a different sense. Sensory signing is woven throughout to help babies and parents build communication from very early on, and a combination of original and traditional songs lays the groundwork for early speech and language. At the close of each session, the room quietens and womb sounds are replicated to bring babies down gently from the stimulation. Activities are designed to be straightforward to repeat at home, so the learning carries on between Tuesdays.
