Communication & learning support
We have a special needs teacher who sees children of all abilities in groups.  Children with identified learning problems can also access individual sessions.  
The teacher will assess each child and devise an individual education programme (IEP).  We can provide reports to parents on children's progress each term.  Photo of classroom

Music
Music is beneficial to allchildren. Many of our play sessions incorporate music.  On the first Thursday of every month between 4.30 to 5.30pm we have a special music session. At this session everyone can sing, play, make loud and soft noises, tuneful or not so tuneful but generally have fun.  Some of the instruments played are those made by the children with cardboard and pieces of tape. Booking essential.

Play
Our playroom is a place where anyone can drop in at any time we are open.  You are welcome to play and chat to other parents, our play worker and therapists.  Photo of playroom

We have found over the years that babies and very young toddlers welcome the quieter atmosphere of the morning session on a Tuesday.  Older children usually come in the afternoons making it a busier time.  After school is the busiest time of the day with young people coming for various activities and sessions.

Parents need to stay with their children at all times while in the building.  You can relax with atea or coffee, for which we make a small charge.  We also provide healthy snacks for the children.  Donations toward the snacks arealways welcome.
