Sensory room

Poppins sensory room

We are very fortunate to have our very own sensory room, this was recently refurbished as part of our upstairs extension. We have added a fabulous bubble tube and an enchanting infinity mirror as well as a relaxing light machine and many other sensory resources.

A sensory room offers numerous benefits for children, it is a well-loved space which we aim for the children to use every day in small groups with their key person. Being in the sensory room can help regulate emotions, reduce stress and improve learning by stimulating the brain. A sensory room provides a safe and controlled environment for sensory exploration. By facilitating this safe space we aim to promote self-regulation in a calming and nurturing environment.

This engaging environment will provide an opportunity for children to practise their communication skills, particularly those with social difficulties or if a child finds a busier environment too overwhelming. A sensory room can also improve children’s focus and concentration, increase confidence with social interactions, and develop skills such as cognitive, motor and coordination.
