About this class
On Thursday mornings, Jubilee Community Centre on Charlwoods Road becomes a whole-world experience for East Grinstead's youngest families. Two Baby Sensory sessions run term time only: the 6–13 month group at 10:10, followed by the birth-to-6-month group at 11:30. Both last an hour and cost £12.50. Andrea Pyett leads the franchise covering East Grinstead, Tunbridge Wells and Crowborough.
Each session follows a detailed lesson plan drawn up by Dr Lin Day, the programme's founder. Dr Day holds a PhD alongside a range of early-years qualifications and brings more than 40 years of experience working with parents and children — she is also a Senior Associate of the Royal Society of Medicine. Behind what looks like cheerful play, every activity is structured to stimulate sight, hearing, smell, touch and movement in the sequence babies are neurologically ready for. The room layout is arranged to match the focal distance at which young babies actually see, instrument decibel levels are measured to ensure nothing is too loud, and the session closes with womb sounds to bring things gently to a calm.
A signature song plays at the opening of every class. In between, you can expect creative play, massage, tummy time, movement activities, and a mix of original and traditional songs chosen to support early speech and language. Sensory signing is woven in throughout, giving even very young babies a way to communicate before words arrive. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point — the session is built around your baby, not the other way round. The summer term runs from 1 June through 13 July.

What actually happens in a session?
Every session opens with a signature song, then moves through a structured mix of sensory activities — light and visual play, textures, scents, movement, tummy time, massage, and music. Original and traditional songs support early speech and language; sensory signing runs throughout. The session closes quietly, with womb sounds played to soothe babies. Each element maps to a lesson plan designed by Dr Lin Day to match the developmental stage of babies in that age group. You can feed or cuddle your baby at any point.
Do I need to bring anything?
The programme does not publish a standard kit list for weekly sessions. If you want to recreate activities at home, toys and props from the sessions are available through the Baby Sensory shop, including the 'Say Hello' range designed by Dr Lin Day.
