We were delighted when we moved to our new premises in late 2022 as it gave us the opportunity to have a dedicated sensory room, for all the community to enjoy. Through fundraising and generous donations from PODS families, we have been able to equip and purchase new sensory resources for our dedicated sensory room. This has enabled us to help meet the needs of more young people and their parents or carers.
Sensory Room
Within this new space we provide preschool sessions for children aged 0-4 years during the day and of an evening for children and young adults up to the age of 25. Our sessions aim to provide children and young adults with opportunities to engage their senses and develop areas such as social, cognitive, and fine motor skills. Sensory play is a popular way to help children and young adults to develop their understanding of their emotions and the world around them while reducing anxieties. Sessions currently run on Monday and Fridays and must be prebooked.
The sensory room can also be privately hired for a maximum of 4 children, please email jeannie@podstelford.org for more information.
