About this class
Baby Sensory at MEFAS in New Malden runs every Tuesday, with three slots spread across the day: 10:00–10:55 for ages from birth to 13 months, 11:30–12:25 for those aged 5–13 months, and 12:35–13:30 for newborns up to six months. The spread gives a decent chance of finding something that fits around your morning or afternoon.
Grace McAuley leads the classes. She and co-owner Louise came to the franchise in a way that's common in Baby Sensory: as parents who attended the programme with their own babies before taking it over. Louise manages the admin and assists with sessions, so there's a working team behind the mat rather than a solo act.
The franchise covers Wimbledon, Raynes Park and New Malden — MEFAS is the New Malden site for that network.
Each session follows a detailed lesson plan covering everything your baby touches, sees, hears, smells and feels. A signature song opens every class, then activities move through visual development (the sensory area is set up to match the distance at which babies see clearly), textures, movement, tummy time, scents, and massage. Songs and rhymes — both original and traditional — run through the session to support early speech and language, alongside sensory signing to help you and your baby communicate from early on. Everything is chosen to be repeatable at home during the week. Sessions close by mimicking the sounds of the womb to bring things to a calm end.
