FAQs

What if my child prefers not to sit down or move around during the session? 

That’s absolutely fine! Every child explores and joins in at their own pace. There’s no expectation for children to sit still – they’re free to move, observe or take part in the way that feels right for them. Our sessions are designed to be flexible and child-led. 

What if my child is non-verbal or uses very little language? 

All children are welcome, whether they use words, gestures, sounds, or other ways to communicate. We focus on connection, play and understanding each child’s cues. Our activities support all forms of communication.  

My child doesn’t have a diagnosis – is it still okay for them to come along? 

Absolutely! A diagnosis isn’t needed to join our sessions. Many families come because they notice their child benefits from smaller groups or are on a pathway to diagnosis. We welcome every child as they are. 

My child hasn’t been to any structured groups before. What if they don’t join in with every activity? 

That’s completely okay. Some children like to watch first, and others dive right in. There’s no pressure to do everything – we celebrate every small step and follow each child’s lead. The activities differ between freer and more guided/structured activities therefore allowing each child to join in at their own pace.  

How do you make sure children don’t become overstimulated during the class? 

We keep the environment calm and supportive, with plenty of space and time for breaks. We also watch carefully for signs that a child might need a pause, a quieter area or a change in activity. We have an area at the back of the room and outside the room for the little ones to take a breather if needed.  

How big are the classes, and how long does each session last? 

We keep groups small so every child can receive tailored support when needed. Classes have up to 10 children per session, which helps us create an inclusive class with a safe atmosphere. Sessions usually last around one hour, giving plenty of time to explore without becoming overwhelming.
