What makes this activity inclusive?
We aim to include all children with Additional Needs in our sessions. We are willing to adapt and change our sessions as needed in order to be inclusive.
The venue we will use has a car park, disabled toilets and a changing area with hoist and changing bed. There is also an outdoors space that can be accessed if the children need so time out of the session. We will be running two sessions at the same time, so if a child finds one session too noisy/busy they could always try the other session.
What They Say About Us
It’s so well organised and the staff are professional and welcoming.
Fantastic program well delivered good choice of activities and staff interacted with children.
I took both my children, they both enjoyed the activity and wanted to find out when the next activity will be for us to attend. One of my children has additional needs and it was nice to meet other children with additional needs and meet other families. They had options available for everyone to take part in and it was a nice relaxing environment, The staff were very friendly and welcoming and it was lovely to meet them.
All of the staff were amazing, so engaging with the children.
Bookings will reopen in the lead up to the Winter Holidays!
