🌈 Discover Our New SEN Soft Play Area at Runaround!
At Runaround Soft Play in Sheffield, we believe play should be for every child. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our brand-new dedicated SEN soft play area — created with care for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
Whether your child is neurodivergent, experiences sensory sensitivities, or simply benefits from a more peaceful play environment, our new space is here to help them feel safe, included, and free to explore.
🧠 Designed With SEN in Mind
We’ve carefully designed our SEN area to support a range of additional needs, including autism, ADHD, and sensory processing challenges. This calming space features:
Soft lighting to reduce overstimulation
Quieter zones with reduced noise levels
Tactile, sensory play equipment
Safe, open layouts for easy movement and comfort
Everything is set up to encourage children to play at their own pace, without pressure or overwhelm. It’s the perfect spot to build confidence, explore, and just be themselves.
🏡 A Welcoming, Inclusive Play Centre
We know that for many parents and carers of SEN children, finding a welcoming, understanding environment can be tough. At Runaround, we’re proud to offer a judgement-free, fully inclusive soft play centre where every family feels at home.
Our friendly team is trained to understand a wide range of needs and is always on hand to help. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you’ll find a warm welcome here.
