..enabling young children with special needs the opportunity to learn and develop through play.

In addition to working with the children, the group also emphasises support for their families.  A separate room is provided where parents and carers are able to chat over coffee and toast whilst the family co-ordinator is available to help provide information or a listening ear. Alternatively it is possible to leave the building, as the group is registered with Ofsted and staff and volunteers are fully checked by the Criminal Records Bureau. Short trips to town provide valuable respite from the demands of coping with young children. The group is self financed and is fully reliant on support from the local community, grants and fund raising. We are managed by a committee of parents, trustees and staff representatives.
