Description

For children with special educational needs, sensory play can be a vital part of their development. Our Inclusive Sensory Tunnel is a valuable addition to any play area that you aspire to deliver these sensory experiences within. The tunnel is manufactured to allow two-way access; the 2.4m high roof is designed to prevent any sensation of claustrophobia while passing through – without detracting from the tunnel experience.

The roof of the Inclusive Sensory Tunnel has multicoloured porthole window shapes for visual stimulation and is fitted with wind chimes at either end. Along the inside, are a multitude of colourful shapes, some with engravings, others with tactile materials and mirrors. On the opposite side of the tunnel, Music Panels are fitted to deliver sound and resonance, along with a built-in talk tube speaker system that spans the length of the tunnel. This encourages social interaction, allowing children of all abilities with a space to freely play together.

Along one side of the exterior, two large mirrors span the length of the tunnel for visual interaction.

Inclusive Sensory Tunnel Benefits

This piece of equipment has been specifically designed for children with special educational needs, however children with a mixed range of abilities will certainly enjoy the tunnel. We have carefully designed our Inclusive Range with appropriate user safety features and staff welfare in mind. The Inclusive Sensory Tunnel promotes healthy physical activity, sensory development, confidence and engagement in social play.

  • This Birds Nest Swing swing is available with either a complete metal frame, a complete timber frame or a metal cross bar with timber legs - as shown in the main image. The Birds Nest Swing is 1.2m diameter, making it a great piece of playground equipment for group play and children with disabilities. Benefits of a Birds Nest Swing This swing is an ideal piece of equipment to be used during breaktime and lunchtime, encouraging socialisation and bonding. Due to the size of the 'nest', children can be provided with an  inclusive alternative to a standard swing.  The swing can also provide comfort to children and be used as a sensory activity through vestibular stimulation. This will help children to adapt to a range of sensory stimulations and also provide the playground with a great tool for self regulation.

  • Children have gravitated to Roundabouts for years! They're a playground staple that children with special educational needs shouldn't have to miss out on. Our Wheelchair Roundabout allows children of mixed abilities to play together, meaning that nobody gets left out. Any inclusive playground is aided greatly by the addition of one of our Inclusive Wheelchair Roundabouts.  Wheelchair Roundabout Benefits The benches will seat four children, with space for two wheelchair users in the centre. The wheelchairs are then fastened in for safety, with the straps provided on the unit. The Wheelchair Roundabout is installed flush to the playground surfacing, meaning that ramps aren't required for this piece of equipment. For safety purposes, a specially designed geared system is installed underneath - limiting the speed of the roundabout.
