About this class

Tuesday classes at The Studio inside St Nicholas Shopping Centre are led by Suzie, who has been voted London's Most Loved Activity Leader three years running. The venue sits on the first floor opposite New Look in Sutton town centre, drawing families from across the SM1 area and from Carshalton, North Cheam, Banstead, and Wallington.

Both programmes are available here. The main Baby Sensory class takes babies from birth through to 13 months. Hello Baby runs separately for newborns from birth to 3 months, with a focus on reading your baby's behavioural cues, understanding different cries, colic management, and early massage and touch techniques. Families with very young babies often start with Hello Baby before moving across to the main class.

Every Baby Sensory session follows a detailed lesson plan developed by founder Dr Lin Day, whose credentials span more than 40 years working with parents and children, a PhD and multiple postgraduate qualifications, and a Senior Associate fellowship of the Royal Society of Medicine. Sessions open with a signature song, then move through creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, visual activities, textures, scents, and music. Sensory signing is woven in throughout to support early communication. At the close, Suzie uses sounds that mimic the womb to gently settle babies. You are welcome to feed or hold your baby at any point during the session.

The Summer term runs from 2nd June to 16th July 2026. The Autumn term starts in September 2026. You can join partway through a term if space is available, paying only for the remaining sessions.

Common questions

Can I try a session before committing to a full term?

Yes. Three-week trial bookings are available for the current Summer term (2nd June – 16th July 2026), alongside full-term booking. If you join partway through the term and there is space, you pay only for the remaining sessions.

My baby is a newborn — is this suitable from birth?

The main Baby Sensory class covers babies from birth to 13 months, so very young babies are welcome. There is also a separate Hello Baby programme specifically for birth to 3 months, which focuses on reading your baby's cues, recognising different cries, understanding colic, and early massage and reflexology. Both programmes run at this Sutton venue.

What happens during a session?

Each session opens with a signature song, then works through creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, visual stimulation, textures, scents, and music. Sensory signing activities are included to encourage early communication. Every session closes with sounds that mimic the womb to settle babies. You can feed or hold your baby whenever they need it — the session does not require your baby to be alert throughout.

Do I need to bring anything specific?

The programme does not specify items to bring to class. Props and toys from the sessions are available to buy from the Baby Sensory shop if you want to continue activities at home, but there is no equipment requirement to attend.
