About this class
Sam has been running Baby Sensory classes in Ilford, Stratford and Forest Gate for nine years. Frenford Club on The Drive is her Wednesday venue, with two sessions running back-to-back — 10:30 and 11:40 — both for older ages from birth to 13 months, term time only.
Each session follows a detailed lesson plan covering what babies touch, see, hear, smell and feel. Activities move through creative play, tummy time, movement, textures and scents, alongside original and traditional songs and rhymes chosen to support early speech and language development. Sensory signing runs through every class too, giving you practical ways to communicate with your baby before words arrive. The session layout is designed around infant development: the sensory area is arranged to match the distance at which babies focus clearly, and instrument volumes are measured so nothing is uncomfortably loud. Every session closes by mimicking womb sounds, which the programme uses to settle babies at the end of class.
You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point — no need to step out or wait. The activities are designed to be straightforward to repeat at home, so the learning carries on through the week. To check availability or ask a question before booking, you can call 07507278542 or email ilfordandstratford@babysensory.co.uk.

Common questions
What ages are the Wednesday classes at Frenford Club for?
Both Wednesday sessions — 10:30–11:20 and 11:40–12:30 — are for older ages from birth to 13 months. If your baby is younger, the Baby Sensory programme covers birth to 13 months overall, and the Hello Baby strand runs specifically for newborns up to 3 months; contact Sam directly to find out what is currently available locally.
How much does a session cost, and when do classes run?
Each session is £12.50, run during term time only. Two slots are offered each Wednesday morning, so if one time does not suit your week, the other may.
How do I book?
Contact Sam directly — phone 07507278542 or email ilfordandstratford@babysensory.co.uk — to check availability and arrange a place.
What happens in a typical session?
A signature song opens every class. Sessions then move through creative play, tummy time, movement, visual development, textures, scents and music. Songs, rhymes and sensory signing activities run throughout, and the session closes by mimicking womb sounds to settle babies. The session layout is planned carefully — from the arrangement of the sensory area to the volume of instruments used.
What should I bring?
There is no fixed kit list. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby during the session, so bring whatever you would normally carry for a morning out — nappies, a change of clothes, a feed if needed.
