Bursting with Potential

We are excited to have had new team members joining us over this summer...

Irsah - Occupational Therapist
Olivia - Specialist Occupational Therapist
Najm - Speech and Language Therapist

What stood out with all 3 of them was their passion and enthusiasm for meeting children where they are, and supporting them to understand themselves and develop a toolkit of strategies with a neuroaffirming approach.

They are settling in and excited to meet you and work with your children, please make them very welcome and say hi if you see them around the clinics.

We had a visit from the Peterborough HAF team this summer, they do unannounced visits to check provision, and we're very pleased with the positive feedback received.

They loved what we have done with the outdoor garden area.

They were impressed by how calm and settled the range of children were and complimented the engaging and meaningful activities that were available to them.

They loved that we are working with a food bank and surplus food agencies to support our HAF meals.

Well done to the BwA Holiday Club team who are working hard to deliver this.

Our Early Intervention Group is back for September, with groups at both Spalding (Thursdays) and Eye (Tuesdays) clinics.

Are you looking for early intervention therapies to support your child before they start school? Or boost their learning potential? Our Early Intervention group combines group social skills and attention activities into circle time, works on individual goals using the TEACCH approach or workstations, and offers multisensory learning experiences and pre-writing skills to develop your child’s skills and teach parents or nursery staff the techniques to carry over the learning at home or in a setting.
with involvement from OT and Speech and Language therapists for a multidisciplinary approach.
We take 2-5 year olds but ideally for 3-5 year olds in the year before they start school. If enough interest we will run 2 age groups.
Sessions are 10-11.30am or 1-2.30pm. £30 per session.

Only 6 places in each group, half term block booking upfront to guarantee your spot.

Last week Sue, our Specialist Teacher chatted to some parents as they dropped off and picked up from Holiday Club, here's a few of the comments she received:

💫"She can't wait to get here, she counts the roundabouts"
💫"x is never happier than coming here"
💫"This place is great , he loves it"
💫"so happy when he's here"

We're so proud to hear this and know that so many children love coming to us. We dont always celebrate the positive feedback enough.

Holiday Club had their first swim of the summer yesterday and it was fantastic!

So many smiley and splashy faces and some amazing milestones.

Including some children who were unsure getting in and spending 2 hours in the pool with big smiles.

A child who hasn't swum before loving life and not wanting to get out!

Several children who find public swimming pools challenging due to the rules and other people, able to enjoy swimming without the pressure of the public, or loud whistles if they forget to walk.

We'd say that was a huge success!
