The MegaCentre Sensory Room is a special place that has a range of stimulating experiences that enhance learning, development and relaxation for babies, young children and their carers.
Come and relax and enjoy the lovely colourful but restful surroundings of the sensory room. Leave the jobs till later and spend some quality time with your little ones.
A full fifty minutes of one to one, no popping off to put washing on or other jobs. Enjoy a special time gazing lovingly at your baby as you relax on a bean bag or sit on the floor with your toddlers and explore boxes full of toys, treasures and different textures and no tidying up for you!
You are free to explore and discover all the room offers for the first forty minutes. There is an interactive floor constantly playing a mix of characters, animals and insects for you to practice ‘tummy time’ on or just have fun with. There is a ‘magic cube’ that changes the colours of the room. The colourful borealis tube is surrounded by mirrors, and a soft area where your little ones can relax and be stimulated by the never ending light display. The den offers soft fluffy cushions with twinkly stars on the ceiling. Many have threatened to ‘nod off’ in this special place…no one has yet! The large disco ball, along with music, plays constantly filling the room with magical sounds, and light shining all around the room.
The session is finished off with a ten minute sing song where we use a monkey, props, bubbles, and musical instruments to introduce the good old favourites to the next generation.
Some benefits of using the sensory room are:
◾Hand to eye co-ordination as little eyes track lights and bubbles
◾Colour and shape recognition
◾Gross and fine motor skills through playing with toys
◾Cause and Effect through interaction with equipment that responds
◾Speech and Language development through exploration
◾Baby-parent bonding through session activities and calming environment

2/23/2017 Myself and partner took our 6month old to musical Wednesday in the sensory room & she absolutely loved it and was rolling around like a lunatic! It was nice that other fathers were there too which you don't see often due to work commitments. The teacher was lovely & explained all the sections of the room. We will definitely go back to try out another themed class. �� Patrice Nelson

10/13/2016 Took my niece today for the musical group. The sensory room was great, fantastic resources and completely safe to just let her toddle/crawl around and explore by herself. She was fascinated by the colours, textures and sounds. She loved joining in with the instruments and singing songs. Lovely, understanding staff. Thanks Rosie Anne
1/04/2017 I took my 19 month old to the chatty Tuesday session today. He absolutely loved it, he was able to explore the sensory room himself for the first part of the session, where nic who led the session was interacting and reading him stories! My little boy is very active, and nic was able to provide many different resources for him to keep him interested and enjoying the whole 50minutes! The session ended with a brilliant story with props that my son loved joining in with! The room is very well equipped, welcoming and so clean. A definite must visit! Laura Jayne Grant
12/13/2016 - My 15 week old had a great time at the musical babies session today � he was so tired and would normally cry if he hadn't slept but he was so calm and mesmerised by the lights and toys and fell asleep towards the end of the session without any fuss which he wouldn't normally do!
