This training is designed for early years teachers, practitioners, nursery staff, preschool teams and childminders working with children up to the age of 7.
Children make sense of the world through their senses. The way they process this input shapes their behaviour, emotions and learning. Sensory play is not just fun – it is essential for building calm, connection and regulation. This course will help you understand sensory processing and give you practical ways to use sensory play in your setting.
We’ll cover:
What sensory processing is and how it links to children’s behaviour and development
The role of sensory play in supporting brain development, regulation and wellbeing
Spotting sensory seeking, avoiding and overload behaviours
Practical sensory play ideas for everyday routines and environments
How to create sensory-rich spaces that support calm, focus and connection
Strategies for co-regulation and helping children manage big feelings through sensory experiences
This training links closely with my Understanding Children’s Behaviour course – together they provide a strong foundation for supporting children’s regulation and wellbeing.
Also available as an on-demand video course if you can’t attend live.
