💜 Sensory Friendly Lighting 💜

Lighting can have a big impact on how a space feels. That's why, at The Nook Stop, we've got sensory friendly lighting designed to create a calmer and comfortable environment.

Many of our pods feature gentle, adjustable lighting, including colour changing options, allowing visitors to choose what feels right for them in the moment.

It's just one of the ways we help make The Nook Stop a welcoming and supportive space for all.

🌟 Sensory Friendly Monday Tip 🌟

Not everything that affects our sensory experience is something we can see or hear. Things like temperature, smells, and even changes to the weather can influence how comfortable a space feels.

Taking a moment to notice what is affecting your comfort can help you better understand what support you might need. Sometimes it's not the environment as a whole, but one small factor that's having the biggest impact.

At The Nook Stop in Frenchgate, visitors can explore different sensory features and environments to find what feels most comfortable to them on the day. 💜
