About this class
Baby Sensory at the WOW Centre in Andover runs Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, with sessions split into two age groups so the activities match where your baby actually is developmentally. The younger group (0–6 months) focuses on bonding, comfort, tummy time, and early reaching and grasping. From six months, the emphasis shifts toward social skills, mobility, and actions like waving and clapping.
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan that covers what a baby touches, sees, hears, smells, and feels. A signature song opens each class, then activities move through sensory signing, creative play, massage, tummy time, movement, visual development, textures, scents, and a mix of original and traditional songs and rhymes for early speech and language. Instrument decibel levels are measured to ensure they stay within a safe range for babies. Each session closes with womb sounds to help babies settle. Parents are welcome to feed or cuddle their baby at any point during the session.
Classes are run by Claire Chilton, who has led the franchise in Andover and Winchester since 2016 and also runs Toddler Sense locally since 2019. The franchise covers Andover, Winchester, Alresford, and Stockbridge. The Early Summer Term runs 29 June to 20 July, and the Late Summer Term runs 17 August to 14 September. On Saturday 27 June there is a Father's Day Special with two slots — 10:00–11:00 and 11:30–12:30 — at £10 for two adults and one baby.
