Important information 26 September 2024
Stay and Play sessions have been postponed due to the severe flood damage that happened at The Milestone School last week.
For more information please email Fiona on fiona.bonnette@milestone.sandmat.uk
So sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
WE HAVE MOVED!!! (BUT NOT FAR)
As of this new school year stay and play will be running from the intervention hub to the left of The Chamwell Centre.
WHAT IS STAY AND PLAY?
The sessions are an opportunity for parents to come together with their children and spend time playing with them and getting to know each other in a relaxed and safe environment. Our stay and play sessions are designed to welcome families who have children with additional needs, who are under school age. For parents, the opportunity to meet other parents who have children with similar needs has been invaluable in previous years and some have made very good friendships that have continued beyond their time at the sessions.
We also offer support in the form of sign posting to the right agencies and a listening ear.
We encourage sharing moments of joy and success and sharing of experiences which often can help to support each other.
THE ROOMS
We have a main room with space for all kinds of activities including the messy kind (so be sure to bring a change or two of clothes along)
Off the main room there is a ‘soft room’ where some soft play items are with a little ball pit too. We also now benefit from having an outside space which we can access at any time (even if its raining as long as we and the little ones have the right kit to wear or don’t mind getting a bit damp)
We have changing and toilet facilities just next to the room.
SESSION TIMES
All our sessions take place on Mondays. There are two sessions per week which are 10am -11.30am and 1.30pm-3.00pm. The sessions will begin to run from October 7th this year.
SNACKS AND DRINKS
Please feel free to bring snacks and drinks for your little ones however we have to be mindful of children attending who may have allergies and/or intolerances to foods etc and respect those needs.
HOW TO REQUEST A PLACE
If you think this is something you would be interested in for your child please contact Fiona via email on fiona.bonnette@milestone.sandmat.uk to request a referral form. Please fill it in as completely as you can and return it to her either via this email or you can drop a copy into the Milestone School main office.
