We've sparked a conversation!

We've had lots of parents asking about whether their children who have a diagnosis or who are neurodiverse are welcome at YCSWU.

The short answer: absolutely, yes.

We don’t discriminate based on diagnosis, personality, or disability.

But we also want to be really clear about what our space is - and what it isn’t.

Unlike a forest school, a games club, or a parent-led support group, our co-learning space is designed to give children the chance to work independently on the learning set by their parents.

If you’ve ever been to a co-working space for adults, you’ll get the idea. Everyone brings their own work, there are some basic expectations (like being respectful, using headphones where needed, chatting quietly when it’s helpful but recognising when others need focus). That’s exactly the atmosphere we’re creating - just for children.

We’re parents ourselves, and we get that children have wriggles and bursts of energy! We go to plenty of groups where our daughter can run around, and we actively balance that with time where she can focus on the subjects she loves.

✨How can you support your child to thrive at YCSWU?

πŸ‘‰ Bring enough work to keep them busy for 3 hours (devices, workbooks, projects - whatever they’re working on).
πŸ‘‰ Go through a little plan with them beforehand so they know what they’ll be doing.
πŸ‘‰ Pack headphones for podcasts, audiobooks, or focus music.
πŸ‘‰Include some downtime items like a book, drawing, colouring, or a fidget toy (and snacks too - brain fuel!)
πŸ‘‰ Let us know if your child has an enabler as they are welcome to come along too!

We are facilitators of a space where children can:

πŸ‘‰Be curious
πŸ‘‰Learn independently
πŸ‘‰Respect others around them
πŸ‘‰Enjoy co-learning together

So - whether your child is neurodiverse, has a diagnosis, or not - they are welcome here, as long as they can engage with the space as it’s intended: a quiet, focused place with room for a few wriggles.

This is a new concept - nothing like this has ever been done in Devon before. We're learning too - and we love that these conversations are happening. As always, our inbox is open if you've got any questions.

After a full day in Exeter yesterday viewing different venues to hold our sessions, we can let you in on a little secret...

We've found the perfect place!

It's still a little secret whilst we chat with our new hosts and finalise the dates, but honestly - it's just perfect. We know you will all love it too.

When we choose our venues, we always take into account how the place feels, the access situation, and the safety of the children (is it on a main road? How they will get to their parents after? Can parents drop off and pick up easily). This one ticks every box (with a little gold star sticker next to it too!)

We viewed some really great spaces yesterday, but this one just felt....right.

If you're wanting to join us from Torbay, don't be put off by the EX postcode. It took us 30 minutes to get there yesterday - the drive was a breeze. Often it can take longer just to get from Torquay to Brixham!

We'll be starting these sessions in September. Unfortunately, we won't be offering our first session free for our Exeter venues at the moment.

Please sign up to receive updates via our website so that you can be the first to know when we've got a date!

P.s - It's got a co-working space for grown-ups too!
