About this class
The Snug on Rayleigh High Street is the home venue for the Baby Sensory Benfleet and Rayleigh franchise, run by Tamsin Scott, who has been delivering Baby Sensory classes since 2011. Sessions run across the week: Monday at 10:00–10:45, Tuesday at 11:15–12:00, Wednesday at 11:00–11:45, and three slots on Thursday at 09:45, 12:30, and 13:45. Each term is six weeks long and costs £54.60; every place must be booked ahead.
Each 45-minute session follows a detailed lesson plan covering everything a baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. Expect sensory signing, tummy time, massage, movement activities, and a mix of original and traditional songs and rhymes chosen to support early speech and language development. Every class opens with a signature song and closes with sounds that mimic the womb to settle babies gently at the end. Instrument decibel levels are measured to ensure nothing is too loud, and the sensory area is arranged to match the distance at which babies actually see objects clearly — details that matter particularly for younger babies.
The Snug itself is well set up for the early months: parking in bays 1–4 directly outside, buggy parking, a baby change, toilets, a baby weighing station, and bottle warming on site. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during a session. For babies under three months, the Hello Baby programme is also available here — it focuses on reading your baby's cues, understanding cries, colic comfort, and early massage, as a companion to the main Baby Sensory offer.
