Inclusive & Neurodivergent-Friendly

Every child belongs here

Every child learns and grows in their own way, and at their own pace. We warmly welcome children of all ages, all developmental stages, and every way of thinking, moving and playing, including neurodivergent children and those with additional needs.

A warm welcome for every family

There are no milestones to ‘hit’ here: just a supportive space where your child can simply be themselves. Our educators are qualified early childhood teachers who meet each child where they are, follow their lead, and celebrate every kind of progress. Whether your child is autistic, ADHD, is sensory-sensitive, is still finding their words, or is simply having a big-feelings day, they are welcome exactly as they are.

Care that flexes around your child

All ages & stages

From babies to eight-year-olds and every stage in between. We meet your child exactly where they are.

Neurodivergent-friendly

Autistic, ADHD, sensory-sensitive, or still finding their words: every child is encouraged to be themselves and has their uniqueness embraced.

At their own pace

Low demand activities mean children can go at their own pace, take breaks as needed, and let their interests wander.

Sensory-aware space

Spread over several rooms, our space includes a quiet corner, sensory activities, and the option of your child taking their time to settle in. All activities are optional: they can join, observe, or explore another interest.

You know your child best

We follow your lead, your instructions, and listen to your insights about your child.

Regular inclusive events

Our Thursday Neurodiverse Children & Carers session and regular events bring families together. Join the newsletter to be the first to know about our events.

Neurodiverse Children & Carers Play & Stay

A calm, welcoming Educational Play & Stay session designed with neurodivergent children in mind.

Carers stay with the children during this calm, low demand session. All activities are optional with no pressure to join or play in any particular way.

Children can explore and take their time to settle in while carers have an opportunity to connect with others from the neurodivergent community. Enjoy a moment of respite with a complimentary tea or coffee.

Snacks are welcome. We are an allergy-aware space, so we ask that children eat from their own snack box only, and that you remind them not to share food. If your child has a specific allergy, please let us know before the session.

When

  • Thursdays 1pm – 2pm Neurodiverse Children & Carers
