Stay & Play at Dingley's Promise Wokingham for children with SEND

Dingley Promise

Do you have a child with SEND (Special educational needs & disabilities) aged between 0-5 years old?

Then join us for a play and stay session for children and their parents/carers, providing fun opportunities to increase social interaction, creative play, physical skills and communication.  

It is also an opportunity for parents/carers to form friendships with other parents and share knowledge and experiences, with the support from our Family Support Worker.

Dingley provides a place where children from birth to five, with additional needs and disabilities can develop skills through play under the supervision of qualified staff.

Parents and carers are also welcome and for them Dingley centres are places to make friends and share experiences.
