Our Story
Through my own lived experience, I understand how sensory differences can profoundly impact individuals and their families. Our busy, chaotic world often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and isolated, with few safe, accessible spaces for sensory-sensitive and sensory-seeking children, young people, and adults.
​
In creating The Sensory Hive, we have paved the way in offering a 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.
The Sensory Hive began as a 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, teacher and Managing Director of The Sensory Hive. I'm mum to two neurodivergent daughters, and I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD myself. Both of my daughters have autism, and my youngest (pictured above) also has ADHD and a learning disability.​​
​​
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 Ayres Sensory Integration® fidelity standards.
​​
Our brilliant and wonderfully diverse community has a range of care needs, neurodivergences, Learning Disabilities, and conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Acquired Brain Injury, Down Syndrome, and Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD).​
