💜FAQ FRIDAY💜

Attending a new activity can be daunting to a child, especially to those with SEND needs.

We try and provide as much information as possible in advance so your child knows what to expect and we’re always available should you have any questions.

On the day, if they don’t want to take part, that’s fine! There’s no pressure, where possible we provide alternatives like colouring or crafts.

Regulation before expectation, always! 💜

Hey Guys! 👋🏻

To anybody trying to book our HAF activities they shouldn’t have actually been released today so you may get declined accidentally.

I’m currently in hospital getting my dressing removed but I’ll sort it this afternoon!

💜FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION FRIDAY💜

Yes! We welcome siblings whether they have additional needs or not! We believe siblings also need a safe space where they can enjoy time with their families and meet other children in the same position as them. When booking just write "sibling" in the box that asks about additional needs. 💜
