πŸš‚ Why we recommend booking in advance and how we can help πŸ’™

At All Aboard Club, we love welcoming autistic, ADHD and other neurodiverse children (and their families!) to our inclusive train play sessions.

⏰ Our sessions often fill up quickly, because we limit the number of tickets to help keep each session calm, comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. That’s why we recommend booking in advance wherever possible.

We also know that for many families, planning ahead can be tricky.
Routines can change, energy levels vary, and what feels right one week might not the next. And that’s absolutely okay. πŸ’›

That’s why we:

βœ… List the whole year’s programme on our booking page, so you can plan around what works best for your family.
βœ… Offer flexible booking changes. If you need to swap or cancel closer to the day, just let us know and we’ll do our best to help.
βœ… Keep our sessions small and supportive, so there’s space for everyone to enjoy themselves at their own pace.

πŸš‚ Half term is here. For many families that means a welcome break. For neurodivergent children, it can mean something harder: a change in routine.

🧠 Routine is how many neurodivergent children make sense of the world. Knowing what happens next means they can prepare, regulate, and feel safe. When that predictability disappears, anxiety fills the gap.

πŸ’š At All Aboard Club, we see every week how much consistency matters to children. The same space, the same trains, the same familiar setup.

πŸš‚ You can recreate that at home during half term. Lean into what your child already finds calming and familiar. For many neurodivergent children, train play is exactly that. The tracks connect the same way every time. Layouts can be built and rebuilt. There are no surprises.

πŸ›€οΈ That structure and repetition provides comfort when everything else feels uncertain. It gives children something they can control and predict when very little else feels that way.

🏠 You do not need to fill half term with new activities or experiences. Sometimes the same trains, the same tracks, and the same familiar play is exactly enough.

🌟 We will see you back at All Aboard Club soon.

14/02/2026

πŸ’ Valentine’s Day is all about love and affection. But for neurodivergent children, showing love often looks different from what we expect.

πŸš‚ Affection might be sharing their special interest with you. When a child tells you everything they know about trains, they are letting you into their world. That is love.

🀝 It might be sitting close to you without needing to hug or make eye contact. Physical proximity can be connection without physical touch.

πŸ’¬ It might be sharing facts, information, or observations instead of saying β€œI love you.” For some children, sharing knowledge is how they show they care.

🎁 It might be bringing you things they find interesting. A rock, a leaf, a toy train. These are gifts that say β€œI thought of you.”

✨ Not every child will make a card, give hugs, or say the words we expect. And that does not mean they love any less.

πŸ’š At All Aboard Club, we see children showing affection in so many different ways. Choosing to play near their parent. Checking in with a look. Bringing a train to show them.

🌟 This Valentine’s Day, remember that love does not have to look one way to be real. All ways of showing affection are valid and valuable.

πŸš‚ Special interests are often misunderstood. People talk about them like they are problems that need solving or redirecting. But for autistic people, special interests serve an important purpose.

🧠 In a world that can feel overwhelming and unpredictable, special interests provide comfort, joy, and a sense of control. They are calming. They are reliable. They make sense when other things do not.

πŸ’‘ Special interests also build real skills. Deep knowledge in one area develops focus, memory, problem-solving, and expertise. These are not distractions from learning. They are learning.

✨ At All Aboard Club, we see this every week. Children arrive with a deep love of trains, and that interest becomes the foundation for play, social interaction, and confidence.

❌ Special interests are not obsessions that need fixing. They are strengths that deserve respect and space to grow.

πŸ’š When we honour what children love instead of trying to redirect them, we give them the message that who they are is enough.

πŸš‚ At All Aboard Club, we understand what it feels like when spaces are not designed with neurodiverse children in mind. That is why we created something different.

🧠 Our sessions are designed and run by people with lived experience of neurodiversity. We know what it is like when the world feels too loud, too fast, or too unpredictable.

✨ There is no pressure to participate in a certain way. Some children jump straight into play. Others prefer to watch, stay close to their grown-up, or explore quietly. All of those ways of being here are completely valid.

🀝 This is a group environment designed to feel manageable and supportive for everyone who walks through the door.

πŸ’š Parents often tell us the relief they feel when they realise they do not have to explain their child or apologise for their needs. You can simply come in, settle, and let your child take part in the way that works for them.

🏠 This is what All Aboard Club is about. A space created by people who understand, for families who need it.

πŸš‚ We want All Aboard Club to be as inclusive and accessible for as many families as possible. So we have come up with some ways to help this happen.
πŸ‘€ Our venues have areas where we can set up a smaller track away from the main space for children who are a little unsure, need a break, or just want to play by themselves.

πŸ₯° Many of our volunteers have lived experience of , and . This helps make our sessions understanding and safe spaces for families.

🎟 We offer a £5 trial ticket for first time families to come along and see if the sessions are right for them.

πŸš‚ At All Aboard Club, we work hard to make our sessions as welcoming, calm, and accessible as possible for neurodiverse children πŸ’™

Here are some of the ways we thoughtfully adapt our sessions to support different needs and sensory preferences:

πŸš… Longer session times
Our sessions last 1.5 hours. This helps remove the pressure to arrive exactly at the start or leave right at the end. Whenever you arrive, there’s plenty of time to settle in and enjoy play at your own pace.

🧹 Gentle transitions to leaving
We invite children to help with tidying up at the end of the session. This gives them a clear signal that the session is finishing and supports a calmer, more predictable transition.

πŸ”‡ No background music or outside stimuli
We keep our space quiet and focused. There’s no background music and no unnecessary sensory input, helping children feel more regulated and comfortable.

πŸŽ₯ Walk-through videos on our website
We know new places can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created walk-through videos of our sessions so children (and parents) can see the space and know what to expect before their first visit.

πŸ›€ Smaller, separate track area
We have a quieter, smaller track set away from the main area. This can be used as a confidence-building space for new children or as a breakaway area if the main track feels overwhelming.

🎧 Ear defenders available
For children who are sensitive to sound, we provide ear defenders so they can enjoy the session more comfortably.

We’re always learning and adapting, and we’re proud to be building a space where every child can feel safe, supported, and excited to play πŸš‚πŸ’›

If you have any questions or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you!

πŸš‚ Our volunteer, William, has been at it again with some highly imaginative track layouts.

The children love seeing exciting layouts when they arrive, the volunteers just have to be prepared for them to be taken apart and rebuilt. πŸ˜†

Thankfully, Williams efforts remained intact for the whole session.

We're back in Acton on Saturday 28th of February, tickets are already selling fast so get booking!
