    Course overview

    Eligibility: This course is open to South Gloucestershire Early Years Settings, Childminders , Reception and Nursery Class Teachers.

    This 3 hour, face to face session will explore the connection that, when we recognize how sensory experiences shape both motor and emotional growth, we begin to see the whole child more clearly.

    Discovering the relationship between how we sense, move, and feel can transform the way we understand development.

    In outdoor play, children find the freedom to connect with sensory stimuli in a setting that adapts to their rhythm and curiosity.

    We will explore what this looks like in your settings and the different experiences you can offer.

    “Children cannot bounce off the walls if we take away the walls” – Erin Kenny
