About Us

What do we do?

Who is it for?

At The Sensory Shack, we provide therapeutic sensory sessions and respite care for all children and adults with disabilities, learning difficulties, mental health challenges, and sensory processing disorders. Our space is thoughtfully equipped with a wide range of sensory tools and resources tailored to meet the unique needs and interests of each individual. Compassionate, inclusive, and supportive, The Sensory Shack is a place where everyone is welcomed and valued.

Parent / Carer Policy

At The Sensory Shack, our amazing and caring staff are always ready to welcome service users with fun, engaging, and meaningful activities tailored to their needs. We know that first visits can feel a little daunting, so if your child is feeling unsure or overwhelmed, a parent or carer is more than welcome to stay and play—but please let us know in advance so we can make sure everything runs smoothly.

For our little ones under 5, a parent or carer must stay for the full session to ensure everyone feels safe and supported.

Our Mission:

At The Sensory Shack, we believe that everyone deserves to feel included, supported and celebrated - just as they are!

We provide a safe, welcoming space for children and adults with disabilities and mental health challenges, offering a wide range of support that meets each person's needs and abilities.

Whether it is through our sensory therapeutic sessions, alternative education support or inclusive activities like our Disco Fridays or Makaton signing for babies, our goal is simple: to create a community where everyone belongs.

We also want to support the wider family - including siblings of children with additional needs and parents or carers who may feel isolated or overwhelmed. you are never alone at the sensory shack.

Everything that we do is built on compassion, connection and the belief that inclusion should never be an afterthought. This is a space where fun, learning and support come together - where every voice matters and every person is met with warmth and respect.
