Summer Holiday Club at the Children and Family Centre

July 31, 2017 @ 10:00 am - September 1, 2017 @ 3:00 pm

The Summer Holiday Club at Independent Options Children and Family Centre is here!

There’s lots planned throughout the holidays, so be sure to book on to one of our exciting sessions or groups for a fun-packed summer!

Please note that groups are suitable for the ages specified, and that some may incur a small charge to take part in. Priority will be given to children with additional needs. For more information about any of the groups, or to book your place, please contact Julia on 0161 482 7933.

The Children and Family Centre provides inclusive play opportunities in a safe and welcoming environment for children with learning disabilities and additional needs. Through its wide range of groups, play sessions and SEN training courses, children can learn and play while parents can access a wide range of information and support.

We tailor both the support and the groups to the children’s individual needs and ensure that numbers of those attending the groups are kept low to ensure each child gets the attention they deserve. The groups are all family based, with parents and carers joining their children for sessions.

Isla's Story

Isla is three and a half years old and has been coming to the Children and Family Centre for around two years with her family.

At first Isla had no diagnosis, but it was clear to her parents that something was different from an early age as she had a short attention span and would have regular crises if other children came near her. Her speech was also delayed and she didn’t speak or make any verbal noises until the age of three.

By coming to The Centre, play around other children was normalised for Isla as she began to get used to other children being around and she loves coming to The Centre now. She enjoys the freedom to play in the garden or inside with the toys and crafts. Isla responds well to the staff and volunteers at The Centre and is confident to ask for help.

“Isla has speech and language delay but one of the first words Isla spoke was when she shouted “Messy Play!”, so we knew then how vital it was for her to come here.”
