About

Join our relaxed SEN friendly Stay and Play sessions! The perfect opportunity to play for your little ones, including dressing up, sensory tuft trays, a sensory dark tent, story corner, musical instruments and crafts.

Each session includes a story and nursery rhyme plus the perfect chance for adults to catch up and have a brew!

To make our sessions comfortable and relaxed we have:

Low lighting levels
Music played at a lower volume
Ear defenders and sensory toys available
Reduced capacity so there’s lots of space to explore

SEN Stay and Play is exclusively for children under 5 years only. Booking is essential to guarantee your child’s place. Adults do not need to pre-book their place. Please note all children must be accompanied by a maximum of two adults.

Siblings over five are welcome to come along free of charge but the focus of the activities is with the main group of children.

After SEN Stay and Play you can find the rabbit in Parkinson’s Yard, tunnel in the Technology Gallery or visit our Victorian Gallery. Watch out for the cute canaries, the ponies in our Pony Discovery Centre and if you’re ready for a ‘pitstop’ there’s Caphouse Café or visit the Adventure Playground and bring a picnic.
