About this class
Baby Sensory Oxford South, led by Laura Peacock, holds two Monday sessions at Wallingford Sports Park, Hithercroft Road each term: a 09:45–10:45 class for ages from birth to 13 months and an 11:30–12:30 class for the youngest group, 0 to 7 months. Neither session accepts drop-ins, so you'll need to book your place before term begins.
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan written by the programme's founder, Dr Lin Day. The hour draws together sensory activities — textures, scents, visual play arranged at the distance babies actually see clearly — alongside creative movement, tummy time and massage ideas you can take home and try during the week. A signature song opens each class; songs and rhymes thread through the session to build early speech and language; sensory signing gives parents a way to communicate with their baby from birth. Each class closes with sounds that mimic the womb to settle babies gently.
If your baby is under three months, the Hello Baby programme — also available through Baby Sensory Oxford South — is worth asking Laura about. It covers reading your baby's cues, understanding their cries, and touch techniques including massage and reflexology. For the full 0–13 month programme, you're welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point during the session.

Common questions
What ages are the Monday Wallingford classes for?
There are two sessions to match your baby's stage. The 09:45–10:45 class is for ages from birth to 13 months; the 11:30–12:30 class is for ages from birth to 13 months. Once your baby turns 13 months, Toddler Sense — a related programme for ages from birth to 13 months — continues the journey.
How do I book a place?
Classes must be booked in advance and do not accept drop-ins. Contact Baby Sensory Oxford South by phone on 01235 511476 or by email at oxfordsouth@babysensory.co.uk. Laura Peacock can confirm which terms still have spaces.
When do classes run?
Sessions are term time only. There are no regular classes outside school term dates, so booking ahead of a term is the way to secure your place.
What happens during a session?
Each class follows a structured plan covering sensory play, movement, tummy time, creative activities, massage, songs, rhymes and sensory signing. The session opens with a signature song and closes with calming sounds that mimic the womb. Every activity is designed to stimulate what your baby sees, hears, touches, smells and feels — and the activities are planned so they can be repeated at home during the week.
Can I bring a very young baby?
Yes — the 11:30 Monday session is specifically for ages from birth to 13 months. For babies under three months, Baby Sensory Oxford South also offers the Hello Baby programme, which focuses on reading your baby's cues, understanding their cries, and gentle touch techniques including massage. Ask Laura for details when you get in touch.
