The finishing touch - new murals - were added this week, completing the calm and cosy space on Padua ward.
The room provides a safe and soothing environment for children who may be feeling scared, overwhelmed, or simply in need of a quieter space during their hospital visit.
Since opening, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
One parent shared: “My little boy Harry has used the sensory room on more than one occasion of our regular visits to the William Harvey Hospital. He really enjoys the space - it helps keep him calm and relaxed.
“This is a much-needed distraction for him, and for myself as a parent. I feel the sensory room is a wonderful feature for the hospital ward, which so many children benefit from.”
Special thanks also go to the Friends of William Harvey Hospital, who generously purchased the climbing blocks for the room.
