Our Story
Our Story
The Sensory Hive began as a small seed of an idea back in 2017 and has since blossomed into a thriving organisation providing valuable therapeutic and educational services for the disabled community across Merseyside and beyond.
​
I’m Hayley — Director of The Sensory Hive and teacher.
More importantly, I am neurodivergent myself and mum to two neurodivergent daughters.
Our house is a fun mix of autism, ADHD and learning disabilities!
​
Through my own lived experience, I understand how profoundly sensory differences can impact individuals and their families. Our busy, overwhelming world often leaves us feeling isolated, with very few safe, accessible spaces for sensory-sensitive and sensory-seeking children, young people, and adults.
​
​
​We have paved the way in offering the first of its kind, specialist Sensory Integration Therapy Centre.
​Based in Whiston, Knowsley, our state-of-the-art facility is a vibrant hive of activity.
It features a custom-designed sensory gym with a mezzanine level, a fully immersive and interactive sensory room, and a dedicated Sensory Integration Suite built to meet ASI fidelity standards.
​
​​
​The Sensory Hive warmly welcomes individuals of all ages with visible and hidden disabilities.
Our community is wonderfully diverse and has a range of care needs, neurodivergences, learning disabilities, and conditions such as cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, Down syndrome, and PMLD (profound and multiple learning disabilities).
We hope to see you soon!​
