The sensory room can be used as a calming space to help a child regulate themselves as well as providing opportunities for engagement through interaction with the equipment. Sensory gardenThe sensory garden at our North West Centre is open during the summer and allows children the fun of exploring a range of different smells and sights whilst also providing opportunities to challenge the older, more physically able, child with obstacles to stimulate coordination and confidence. The sensory garden was set up through the support of local businesses who donated their time and skills to provide this superb facility for the children and families attending the North West Centre. Family roomThis relaxing and comfortable room allows families to take their breaks and enjoy drinks and refreshments from the fully-equipped kitchen. Baby-changing and toilet facilities are provided for families.
