Event Description

Get ready for some super fun at our SEND Stay & Play sessions! These sessions are specially designed for children with additional needs and/or disabilities, aged 0-10, and their awesome families. Siblings are totally welcome too!

We've got loads of exciting activities planned where you can play, explore and make new friends in a safe and welcoming space. Let's have a blast together!

Our Children's Centre services are restricted to those living in the London Borough of Sutton only. Our sessions are very popular and we want to prioritise those living in the borough. If you are unsure what your local area offers please do not hesitate to contact us and we will signpost you to your nearest service.

Notes & Requirements

This session may be a little messy with water, paint and squishy sensory play. So be sure to dress your children (and maybe yourself!) in clothes that are okay to get dirty. A change of clothes might be wise!
Please remember that parents and carers need to stay with their children at all times.

Mobile phones:
Let's keep phones on silent and use them only for emergencies. We'd love for you to spend this time connecting with your children. Also, no photos or videos during the session please.
