🎉 Introducing Our New Multi-Sensory SEN Room at the Hub! 🎉

We’re thrilled to show you our brand-new SEN Room!
A thoughtfully designed, inclusive space created to support children and young people with additional needs. Every element has been carefully planned to be safe, engaging, and adaptable, offering a calm yet stimulating environment that caters to a wide range of sensory profiles. 🧩

🟢 Designed with Purpose
The room features visually accessible green and white colour schemes, chosen specifically to support visually impaired users. Soft walls and flooring provide safety and comfort, while adjustable mood lighting and a complete blackout option make the space fully adaptable for sensory regulation needs.

Children are always supervised by our team, ensuring their safety, engagement, and individual needs are carefully supported at all times.

This space will be accessible to all Discovery Club users and will help us better meet each child’s individual needs by providing a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel at ease.

🌟 Packed with Sensory Features

Swing, gym balls and peanuts plus other equipment for vestibular input.

Soft play area to foster motor skills and safe physical expression.

Interactive light table & mood ball plus other equipment for visual stimulation.

Projector wall for visual aids, storytelling, and themed sessions.

Engaging sensory toys and tactile resources to encourage exploration and creativity.

🎥🎶
This incredible space also transforms to suit the needs of our wider club activities:
✨ A movie theatre (please note: films shown in accordance with appropriate licensing)
✨ A disco room with sensory-friendly lighting and music
✨ An activity and breakout room for smaller group work, calm time, or focused sessions

💚 Supporting Our SEN Community 💚

This room isn’t just a space—it’s a safe haven for children with sensory processing needs, autism, ADHD, visual impairments, and other additional needs. It offers:

✔️ A calming environment for down-regulation and grounding.
✔️ Opportunities for sensory exploration and development.
✔️ Inclusion in club activities, with the ability to step away when needed.
✔️ A fun and stimulating area that promotes independence, creativity, and confidence.

We’re excited to announce that this space will be available for hire during term time to the wider public—including local schools, support services, community organisations, and for personal hire. Whether it's for sensory sessions, small group work, inclusive activities, or quiet time with a loved one, we welcome collaborations and individual bookings that align with our values of support, accessibility, and inclusion. Get in touch to find out more about availability and how this unique space can benefit your group, service, or family.

This is more than a room—it’s a reflection of our commitment to inclusive, child-led, and SEN-focused support. By creating an environment where every child can thrive, in turn this space is offering peace of mind for families and building strength in our local community.
