Sensory Equipment.
What Is the Sensory Menu?
Our sensory menu allows you to enhance your chosen sensory room with additional equipment and resources. These upgrades can support:
- Emotional regulation
- Sensory processing
- Movement and body awareness
- Creativity and self-expression
- Calm, focus, or alertness
Sessions can remain simple and low-key or become more interactive and dynamic — whatever feels right.

How We Use the Sensory Menu
- Choices are offered with kindness and patience
- Nothing is ever forced or expected
- Visitors can say yes, no, or not today
- Equipment can be added, removed, or changed at any time
Our team supports visitors to explore safely and confidently, always respecting communication styles, boundaries, and emotional needs.
A Flexible, Person-Centred Experience
The sensory menu is suitable for:
- Children, young people, and adults with SEND
- Individuals who are sensory-seeking or sensory-avoidant
- Visitors who need support to regulate or transition
- Those who simply want a space that adapts to them
Whether you’re looking for calm, movement, creativity, or connection, our sensory menu helps create an experience that feels supportive, safe, and meaningful.
