Why sensory rooms are so powerful 💫

A sensory room is more than just lights and equipment — it’s a space where children can:
✨ Feel calm and safe
✨ Explore at their own pace
✨ Regulate big emotions
✨ Build confidence through play

At Purple Moon, sessions are always child-led. There’s no pressure, no expectations — just a welcoming space where every child can be themselves 💜

Sensory play supports all children, including babies, toddlers, anxious children and those with additional needs.

Hi everyone 👋
I’m not very good with the whole social media thing and I’m definitely camera shy, but I thought I’d reintroduce myself for anyone who’s new here!

I’m Kate — born and bred in Bournemouth — and I live with my partner and our two boys. I’ve always had a big interest in sensory equipment, sensory rooms and sensory-based activities.

I started out running weekly sessions around the Bournemouth area, but at the moment I’m mainly focusing on private nursery settings, which I absolutely love. That said, I still really enjoy running the occasional pop-up sensory room session, and I loved my Christmas-themed messy play sessions 🎄✨

So, just out of curiosity… who would be interested in more regular pop-up sessions? These would likely be based in Southbourne.
Would you prefer more messy play or sensory room sessions?

This is something I may look at adding into my schedule, so I’d love to hear your thoughts 💭

Happy New Year, and I hope to see you all soon! 💫

🎃 After a week full of fun (and very busy!) Halloween sessions, it’s finally time for my own little ones to enjoy all the Halloween bits I bought! We even spent the evening driving around spotting spooky houses 👻
