Sensory World Play Centre & Cafe

• What they offer

  A multi-sensory play centre for babies, children and adults with specialist play equipment designed for babies and children with special needs, particularly autism and Asperger's syndrome, plus individual and group activities for teens and adults. Facilities include sensory rooms with lights, music, bubbles, a ball pool, climbing tower and a waterbed (bookable in advance), along with a daytime cafe, an evening Caribbean restaurant (Sensory Bay), venue hire for parties and celebrations, and group bookings from care homes, schools and other professional organisations. Staff are fully checked, first aid trained and disability aware, and events such as a Valentine's Disco and African Drumming Workshops are listed.

• Ages served

  The page states it is for babies, children and adults of all ages, including parents and carers, with specialist equipment for babies and children and separate individual and group activities for teens and adults. No specific age limits are given.

• Accessibility & sensory provision

  Full disabled toilet and change facilities are provided, and the site advertises special facilities for those with a sensory impairment. Sensory provision includes rooms with colours, shape, texture, movement, lights, images, music, bubbles and a ball pool; a testimonial mentions a visitor enjoying the lights and music while seated in his wheelchair, and Makaton nursery rhymes are used for children who are not yet verbally fluent. There is also an upstairs lounge and a terrace open from Easter onwards.

• Quiet / relaxed sessions

  Completely private and secure play sessions can be booked individually or as a group, providing privacy and security, and these can be arranged outside the normal opening hours. The page describes these as especially valuable when dealing with autism, Asperger's and special needs, and the cafe is described as a place for a quiet cuppa.

• Cost

  No prices are given, though childminder testimonials describe the facilities as excellent value for money. Bookings are made online or by calling 01924 456152.
