Fear not, the story ends happily with a cup of tea.

“It was outstanding. The way the actors fully engaged the entire audience – PMLD, verbal, non-verbal, wheelchair user or hyperactive, all of them, was great. Seeing both of my sons (who have very different needs) engaging and enjoying themselves in their own way was fantastic. To hear their giggles, see smiles and peals of laughter as one hit Captain Hook on the bottom with a toy sword will be a treasured memory! Thank you for providing this short break activity. It remains the highlight of each holiday and is still the ONLY activity we do in which BOTH of my SEN children are fully included and enjoy themselves. You are a credit to the SEN community. Thank you.”

School & Family Reviews

We really always have a great time. It can be such a challenge to find S…. any inclusive events, you are such a precious resource!”

 

“A wonderful interactive experience. Students were able to freely explore. All the students were acknowledged, and the leaders knew how to interact with them. We all felt that you interacted and managed our students beautifully. Thank you!

We will be booking again soon!”


“Thank-you so much for such a wonderful day; all the students had a wonderful and the feedback has been so positive. It was really lovely to see all the students so engaged and focused and reacting so well to the story and props.”

“My son has a short attention span usually but was fully engaged in this throughout as they gave him a role to play and improvised around him. We hope it didn’t impinge on anyone else’s enjoyment. They were all laughing as well so we really relaxed and enjoyed it instead of being stressed by trying to make him conform his behaviour.”
