Calm Cove

Calm Cove in Fraserburgh is a sensory soft play venue with a clear and considered purpose: providing a calm, inclusive environment for children with additional support needs, while remaining open and welcoming to all families. It sits apart from the typical soft play model, prioritising sensory experience and low stimulation over the busy, noisy format many parents will be familiar with.

The venue has two dedicated sensory rooms. The main room accommodates up to eight individuals, making for a small, manageable group setting rather than the crowded floors found elsewhere. There is also a private sensory room available for families or small groups who need a more contained and intimate space. This level of thoughtful provision makes a genuine difference for children who can find busy environments overwhelming.

Sessions are structured to suit different ages and needs. Mornings from 10am to 12pm are dedicated to babies and toddlers, with open sessions for all ages following on from there. The venue also runs ASN teen sessions, which speaks to a commitment to supporting older children and young people with additional needs — an age group that is often underserved by leisure and play facilities. Reviews from families who have attended these sessions point to a relaxed, supportive atmosphere and a sense that individual needs are genuinely understood and respected.

Refreshments are kept simple and self-directed: families are welcome to bring their own snacks and help themselves to tea, coffee or juice through an honest payment system. It is an unpretentious, practical touch that keeps the focus on the experience itself rather than commercial add-ons.

A good choice for: families of children with additional support needs, parents of babies and toddlers seeking a calm and unhurried environment, and carers of older young people looking for sensory-friendly activities in the Fraserburgh area.
