We visited Nunsmoor Centre Trust’s FREE sensory room, which is recently new to their venue.
The sensory room is situated at the Nunsmoor Centre, Studley Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, NE4 5AH.

The room has a human sized colour changing LED Bubble tower with fish in, there is 8 different colours to choose from a click of a button. They found the lights fascinating and loved the fact the changed colour.
In the room there is also an CD player and a range of CDs with children’s songs on.
You can turn off the lights and pop the sensory ones on and relax to the sound of rhymes.
There’s a storage boxes filled with sensory toys such as light up bouncy balls, musical instruments, fidgets and much more.
There is also a bit of a sensory wall with different textures and materials to touch. However, only issue with this area is the wires lying around from the other electrics.
