Stay and Play sessions are for pre-school aged children and are run during term time only. These sessions provide opportunities for both group and individual support, allowing parents and carers to meet each other and network to help reduce feelings of isolation and provide fun and safe sessions for their children.

We welcome all children, with and without a disability to join our play and stay sessions! Of course, brothers and sisters are welcome as well (as long as they are under 5).

"I recommend to any parent whose child has sensory needs, or anybody feeling isolated and wanting to make new friends who have children who have similar challenges to their own".

We have highly trained and knowledgeable staff who can sign-post families to external services and support at all our Stay and Play sessions. All of our groups allow parents/carers to meet, share experiences and feel at ease whilst their children explore and play in our specialist, safe environment with trained staff. 

"Jane was very attentive to his needs and she made us both smile on lots of occasions; especially when my son gave her excellent eye contact when she started to sing!".

We have a large amount of specialist toys on offer in our sessions – these can be borrowed by our families to try at home.
