Welcome to Rabbits!
Rabbits is a group for young children with additional needs and their parents.
The group meets once a week, parents and carers stay and join in the fun too! Children learn new skills through play and adults get access to support from specialist staff and have a chance to meet other parent/carers.
The Rabbits Group runs on a Wednesday afternoon in term time, from 12-2pm siblings are welcome. The timing of this session has been planned to include lunch time as many parents have raised food and eating as areas where they require additional support. Bring your child’s food along with you (and your own lunch if you would like) and we will help you to overcome some of the issues.
