There is a relaxing and calming sensory room where children can spend time learning through their senses. All children can benefit from the sensory room - when children feel calm and relaxed they are more receptive to learning. It is a positive experience and their emotional wellbeing is enhanced.
Children with special needs can benefit greatly through sensory experiences. Without the distraction of a busy room with lots of children and over stimulation it is often easier for them to engage in meaningful experiences.
Babies can be soothed and calmed and it gives all children a sense of awe and wonder as they look at the lights and objects and feel the sensation of different textures with their hands and feet. It is a place where new children settling at the centre can bond with their carers.
