Just one of the many elements that makes Toby World a World of Fun for ALL the Family is our purpose built Sound, Light, Smell & Touch Sensory Room for Children with Special Needs

How does it Work? What benefit does it have? – Read this Poem which explains all:

Jo and the Snoezelen® Room

There was a time not long ago when all there was for me to do was lie down on the floor

I counted light bulbs every day and really wished that I could play

I grazed my knees across the room and looked at walls for something new

One day when I was feeling sad I wriggled towards the door It opened and inside I saw a room

A magic room with light for evermore I looked around as if in a dream,

saw pictures on the wall with colours all around me on ceiling and floor

A tube with balls and water bubbles up and down I looked at my reflection in mirrors all around

Quite a handsome chap I thought and took another look

A ball pool took my eye but I could not climb in

A hand came by and helped me and made me laugh out loud

I touched a lot of different things that I had never seen while nursery rhymes were playing from a very strange machine

I felt tired but happy with my lot and hope that I can come again and have another dream.
