Water and Sensory Play with Support Drop In Session

We are always delighted to welcome parent carers, with or without your children, whether you would like advice on education, health or social care, or simply want a friendly chat in a relaxed and supportive environment.

If you are attending for advice, with or without your child, please book your free space in advance. Booking is essential, as without a reservation we may not be able to support you on the day.

Sensory & Water Play

Come along and enjoy a variety of sensory experiences designed to encourage exploration, creativity and fun. Alongside our popular sensory food and LEGO activities, water play will also be available, providing an exciting way for children to splash, pour, explore and regulate their senses in a safe and enjoyable environment. So ensure you bring towels!

Benefits of Sensory Play

Different textures and sensory experiences play a significant role in a child's development by supporting:

• Tactile Stimulation – Encourages children to explore different textures and sensations.

• Cognitive Development – Promotes problem-solving, creativity and learning through play.

• Emotional and Social Development – Builds confidence, communication and cooperative play skills.

• Taste Exploration – Introduces children to a range of safe sensory experiences through food play.

• Sensory Regulation – Helps children self-regulate and process sensory information in a calming environment.
