The SensationALL Sensory Playgroup programme is a 4-week block and we are about to start our second round on 18th January (18th January to 08th February) This 1-hour session runs from 10am to 11am and is for pre-school aged children with or without identified sensory issues.
This is a semi-structured group that aims to assist children use their senses to explore and make sense of the world around them. The sessions are run by Service Practitioners, Mhairi and Ellie who explain: “Sensory play is crucial to brain development, helping to build nerve connections in the brain’s pathways to learn more complex learning tasks, language development, gross motor skills, social interaction and problem-solving skills”.
The sessions, led by Mhairi and Ellie, will have different themed activities which are self-led by each child and encourage touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, moving and hearing.
Here’s what some of the parents from our last Sensory Playgroup programme had to say:
“…excellent ideas and a safe place to try them.”
“…the professional support and knowledge is excellent and makes you feel welcome and relaxed.”
“…it is very specific to our needs as a family and feels unique to us.”
“…it is great fun and a happy atmosphere; everyone is great and very helpful.”
“…good ideas I wouldn’t have thought of and given ideas to try at home.”
“…there are no other groups like this.”
“…definitely worth going, I have already told other parents!”
“…it’s in a bright and friendly environment with carers who take notice of the children and are willing to help at any stage.”
