🌈 Pop! Splash! Playtime magic in the Sensory Room 🌟

Watch as little one reaches to chase colourful bubbles on our overhead interactive projector — and every gentle tap or kick on the floor turns that bubble into a brilliant paint-splat of colour. It’s joyful, surprising and perfectly designed for babies and young children to explore through movement and play.

Why it’s amazing for babies & children:

• 👀 Visual tracking & attention — following moving bubbles helps visual development and concentration.
• 👣 Gross motor skills — crawling, stepping or reaching to “pop” the bubbles encourages movement and balance.
• 🤲 Hand-eye coordination & fine motor — reaching, tapping and grasping develop control and confidence.
• 🔁 Cause & effect learning — every action produces an instant, colourful reaction — brilliant for curiosity and problem solving.
• 🗣️ Early communication — shared excitement builds turns-taking, pointing, babbling and conversation starters for carers.
• 🧘 Gentle sensory play — bright, predictable visuals and soft sounds soothe and engage without overwhelming.

Our baby sessions are calm, safely supervised and tailored to your child’s needs — bring a favourite toy or comforter and we’ll set the room just how you like it.

📹 Perfect for a peaceful yet playful session.

The iconic red poppy - the most famous symbol used to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives in World War One and conflicts that followed.

The bright red Flanders poppy grew in abundance on the barren and war-torn landscapes of France and Belgium after WWI. The ground had been disturbed by the fighting, and the poppy seeds, which can lie dormant for years, germinated in these new conditions.

Today, we stop and pause to remember the sacrifice so many made.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday from everyone at Sensory Room Colchester!

Heading to the Sensory Room? Here’s a quick, friendly checklist to help your visit go smoothly — tell us your preferences in advance, and we’ll tailor the room just for you. 💙

Before you come
• Let us know any favourite themes (e.g. seaside, 1950s, music, dolphins).
• Tell us about any sensory triggers (loud noises, flashing lights) so we can adjust.
• Bring a familiar support person if helpful — carers are welcome.
• Wear comfy shoes for projector activities and gentle movement.

On the day
• Arrive a few minutes early so we can brief you and set preferences.
• Sessions are typically 45 minutes; longer slots available on request.
• You’ll get exclusive use of the room for the session (calm, private and relaxed).

After the session
• Chat with our staff — we’ll note what worked so future visits are even better.
• Want the same setup next time? Tell us and we’ll save your preferences.

💚 This World Mental Health Day — find calm in the Sensory Room 💚

Today we’re reflecting on the small, practical ways to support mental wellbeing — and our Sensory Room is built exactly for that. Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low, or just need a safe place to reset, our space offers gentle, non-verbal ways to soothe the mind and body.

How the room can help
• 🛁 Bubble tubes & mood lighting — slow, predictable visuals to reduce stress and ground breathing.
• 🌈 Adjustable colours & soundscapes — tailor the environment to feel calming or uplifting.
• 👣 Interactive projector — gentle movement and focus activities that distract rumination and encourage presence.
• 🤲 Tactile panels & fibre-optics — hands-on textures for grounding, focus and sensory regulation.
• 🛋️ Quiet chill-out area — a private, cosy corner for mindful breathing, reflection or talking with a support person.

Why it works: sensory experiences bypass the busy thinking brain and help people regulate emotions, lower heart rate, and feel safer in the moment. Our team will personalise sessions to your needs — quiet, slow and soothing, or lightly stimulating if that’s more helpful.

If you or someone you support would like a calm space to pause, reset and recharge, we’re here. Book a private 1 hour session or ask about tailored visits for carers and small groups.

Who is our Sensory room for?

Autism & Sensory Processing Disorders

Sensory rooms offer a controlled environment where individuals with autism can explore sensory input in a safe and structured way. The space helps with self-regulation, reducing overstimulation, and providing a calming retreat when needed. Interactive elements such as fiber optics, bubble tubes, and tactile surfaces allow users to engage in a way that suits their sensory preferences, improving focus, communication, and relaxation.

People with Learning Disabilities

For those with learning disabilities, a sensory room provides a multi-sensory experience that encourages engagement, enhances cognitive skills, and supports emotional well-being. The interactive equipment can help with concentration, communication, and motor skills development, offering a supportive space for personal growth in a non-judgmental environment.

Older Adults with Dementia & Alzheimer’s

Sensory stimulation can be incredibly beneficial for individuals with dementia or Alzheimer’s, helping to trigger memories, improve mood, and provide a sense of comfort. Reminiscence therapy using projected images, gentle lighting, and familiar sounds can create positive experiences that reduce agitation and confusion, promoting relaxation and emotional well-being.
