What is SENlens?
SENlens is a practical resource for families with autistic children, ADHD, sensory sensitivities, or other additional needs. We analyse real visitor reviews and public information to surface relevant signals for SEN families like noise levels, queues and waiting times, staff flexibility, calm spaces and predictability.
Every venue gets a SEN score. Our SEN Score isn't a badge of approval, it's a data-driven snapshot of a venue's environment based on its public information. We surface the data in seconds so you can spend less time researching and more time experiencing.
Noise levels
How loud does it actually get?
Crowds & queues

How SENlens works
We do the research so you don't have to find out on the day.
Real review analysis
We analyse up to 50 real visitor reviews per venue, specifically looking for SEN-relevant signals - not general ratings. How do other SEN families describe it?
Community intelligence
We search SEN blogs, parenting forums, and community groups to surface what SEN families say about venues beyond Google reviews.
Practical, data driven summaries
No verdicts, no recommendations. Just what other families found useful - presented with balanced perspective, because every child is different.
Built for the families who spend hours researching before every trip out.
SENlens is a lens over days out for SEN families, highlighting the things that matter most.
