All children, especially babies, respond to different things and learn in different ways. This is why we’ve created a sensory space – outside of their own group room – where the babies can explore and the older children can let their imagination run wild.
The sensory room is somewhere for babies to explore sights, sounds and textures. It can also be a calm and quiet space, perfect for story telling. It’s a great way to get babies to explore a new environment and new things.
The colour changing lights, mix of materials and calming music provide a relaxing and fascinating experience for babies, toddlers and pre-school children.
There has been a lot of research on the benefits of sensory play:
Sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which supports a child’s ability to complete complex learning tasks
This type of play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction
It aids in developing and enhancing memory
It is great for calming an anxious or frustrated child
It helps children learn sensory attributes like hot, cold, sticky, dry
The other element of this room is Imaginative Play, which was created to give the
children a dedicated place to play with a magical feel to it. We encourage use of children’s imaginations and what is a pirate room one day, can be a knight’s castle the next!
We create a different theme each time depending on what children are learning or talking about, which provides a continuous magical experience for all age groups.
