We are exploring the need for a Stay and Play group for children with special educational needs (SEN) or additional learning needs (ALN) in Flintshire.

This group would offer a safe, inclusive environment for children to play and socialise, and for parents/carers to connect.

Please help us by completing this short questionnaire. Your responses are confidential and greatly appreciated😁
