Your youngest can also get busy and have lots of fun in the baby sensory room and soft play frame. They can interact with an oasis of lights, sounds, and textures, and it's designed to create a peaceful space for all children, especially those with sensory needs. Making it an inclusive, magical spot where kids can relax and explore in their own way, at their own pace!

Riverside Hub is jam-packed with interactive puzzles and games, mazes, sensory spaces, and other fun activities. From the Role Play Village and SEN rooms to the under 5's area with a water bed, dolphin carousel and a wide variety of sensory and circular play structures!

For Toddlers and Older
