A New Sensory Space for Melksham House School

We’re delighted to share that Melksham House School in Wiltshire now has an AmbiSpace sensory igloo, giving students a calm, comfortable place to regulate, reset, and enjoy sensory activities throughout the school day. 

Harriett Evans, Office Manager, shared how quickly the igloo has made an impact: “The sensory igloo has been a fantastic addition for our students. We've only had it for a short time, but it has quickly become a favourite. The students love having a calm, comfortable space where they can relax, regulate their emotions, and enjoy sensory activities. It has already made a positive impact, and we are delighted with it.” 

Students were just as enthusiastic: “I like the sensory dome, or as I call it, the wonder dome. Ohhh I like it.”  and  “This is so cool, why haven’t we always had this?” 

💡 Why Sensory Igloos Make a Difference 

• Regulation support: A predictable, calming space helps students manage overwhelm and sensory overload. 
• Emotional wellbeing: Quiet environments reduce anxiety and support self‑soothing. 
• Inclusive design: Sensory spaces benefit neurodivergent, Deaf, anxious, and overwhelmed learners alike. 

We’re proud to support Melksham House School in creating an environment where every student feels safe, supported, and included.
