A safe haven
Sensory Space
Our Sensory Space is designed to provide a safe haven for those with additional needs, their parents, carers and support workers. We offer a place of wellbeing that is accessible to all by combining a range of stimuli to help individuals develop and engage their senses within a safe and welcoming environment.
The space includes a range of bespoke equipment to create both a calming and interactive atmosphere. We have a bubble tube, interactive LED panels, a vibro-acoustic system, a nurture den and much more.
We recommend that the space is suitable for up to 6 people within each booking.
We’re located within the Brockbank Centre at Ladybridge Connect, Off Meadway Road, Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, SK8 5NZ.
