Nursery World - Nursery group to introduce 'sensory experience' to its settings

Children under the age of two attending Fennies’ 11 nurseries are to benefit from a new sensory experience.

Fennies Nurseries' new sensory experience will be introduced to its Epsom setting initially

The multi-functional sensory resources, designed to bolster young children's development, will first be introduced to the Epsom nursery’s baby room this month, before being rolled out to the rest of the settings.

Fennies says the decision to retrofit all of its nurseries with what it is calling a ‘full sensory experience’ is in recognition that stimulation through senses strengthens neurological pathways, which is proven to be essential for early years brain development.

It believes it is the first ‘major nursery group’ to introduce such resources to all of its settings, which are based in Surrey, London and Kent.

‘The sensory experience’ will be fitted in all of the nurseries’ baby rooms and include a technology corner, light and sound panels, climbing frames and tactile objects - all designed to stimulate babies, promote communication, co-ordination, understanding of early mathematical concepts and providing opportunities for calm.
