###### FOR SCHOOLS & COLLEGES

# A sensory space for every classroom, without building a sensory room

 The Sensory Nook is a mobile sensory pod made in the UK by Nook. It gives pupils with SEND a calm, enclosed place to regulate close to where they learn, so they can step out of the noise and get back to learning sooner. No building work, certified by IBCCES, from £3,000.

 Used in primary and secondary schools, colleges and libraries across the UK, and in stadiums from Liverpool to New York.

Sensory Nook has been officially recognised as a Certified Autism Resource by the IBCCES

# Why schools choose a Sensory Nook

 A pupil who is overwhelmed by noise, light or crowds needs somewhere to reset before it turns into a crisis. A Sensory Nook puts that space right where it is needed, supporting inclusion, learning and wellbeing, and reducing the cost of exclusion.

## Sensory pods for schools: your questions answered

### What is a sensory pod?

A sensory pod is a small, semi-enclosed space where a pupil can step away from noise and busyness to calm down and self-regulate, without fully leaving the learning environment. The Sensory Nook adds sensory lighting and features to a Nook pod, so your school gets a sensory space without giving up a room or building one.

### Who is it for?

It's a calm space for any pupil who needs a moment, and is especially impactful for pupils with SEND, including autistic pupils and those with ADHD, dyslexia or sensory processing differences. Schools also use it for one-to-one support, small-group work and even staff.

### How much does a sensory pod cost?

Nook pods start from £3,000. The price of a Sensory Nook depends on the size and the sensory features you choose, so we quote for each school. [Get a quote](https://nookpod.com/quote?hsLang=en).

### Do we need building work or a spare room?

No. A Nook is freestanding and sits on lockable wheels. It creates a room within a room in a classroom, library, corridor area or wellbeing hub, and you can move it as needs change.

### Is it certified?

Yes. Nook is recognised as a Certified Autism Resource by IBCCES (International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards) and is a vetted product by the British Education Suppliers Association (BESA) - [LINK](https://www.besa.org.uk/supplier/nook-pod-ltd/)

### How do schools fund one?

Schools often fund a Nook from their SEND budget or pupil premium, or IMF Funding, depending on their own rules. It can be a cost-effective alternative to building a dedicated sensory room. Get intouch for our Education Funding Guide with helpful information.

### What do schools say?

- At Ogilvie School, the Nook has been in constant use and has helped pupils with hyperacusis.
- A SEN specialist in the South West told us the Nook is still the most-used space in the school after a full revamp.
- At Bristol Grammar School, the sixth-form Nook is permanently occupied.

### Who makes the Nook?
