07939 844978Our Family Play Projects are run especially for families to come and play together. The whole family is welcome and the whole Playhouse is open to you! We love getting to know you and your child, and welcoming you into our Yorda family.
Whilst you are here, a Playworker will be around for a friendly chat, to play and to give you a little extra support throughout the session. This is a safe environment for your child, for meeting other Yorda families and spending time having fun together.
Our Family Projects are exclusively for any family who has a young person with special educational needs and learning disabilities (SEND). You do not need to qualify for our Specialist Childcare to attend these sessions.

Family Play Sessions
This session is for free play with access to all of the Playhouse. We have a range of specialised equipment including: a sunken trampoline, specialised swings, companion bikes, sensory lights, magic mat, soft play, lots of toys and more!
Under 5s Stay and Play
As well as free play with access to all of the Playhouse we also run a short, no pressure sensory activity that you can choose to join in with. This could include messy play, painting, water play, or sensory stories!
SEND Family Forest
This is an activity led session based in our forest and run by our experienced Forest Leaders, Emma and Ansie. Activities include things like cooking, treasure hunts, and arts & crafts, with lots of free play in the forest area! These Forest sessions are exclusively for families who have a child with special needs and their siblings.
