What is a sensory gym?
A sensory gym is a therapy space designed for movement and sensory play. Swinging, climbing, jumping, crashing and balancing help children understand their bodies and the world around them.
For many neurodivergent children, movement is how they calm down, focus and feel good in their bodies. Our sensory gym gives them a safe place to do that, with every activity chosen for a reason.
Sessions are led by occupational therapists and built around your child’s goals.

Who this helps
Sensory and movement sessions can help if your child:
- Is always on the move, crashing, jumping or climbing
- Avoids movement, playgrounds or feels unsure on their feet
- Is easily overwhelmed by noise, touch or busy places
- Finds it hard to calm down after big feelings
- Seems clumsy or has trouble with balance and coordination
- Finds it hard to sit still and focus
- Needs a safe place to play that fits the way they move
- Is autistic, has ADHD, dyspraxia (DCD) or another diagnosis
These signs don’t mean something is wrong. They mean your child may benefit from support built around how they move and feel.
