With it being children's mental health week here are some useful tips to support your young person or child 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

A really lovely way to discuss emotions with a child. What empties their cups? What fills their cups? What do they do when nearing empty?🥤☕
Spotting the signs early helps to top up their cup and build resilience to manage those strong emotions 😊😢😡😓😅

📣 taking place first Friday of every month 🙌
Struggling where to turn or need valuable advice on everything SEND then pop this date in your diary and see what the SEND support group can do 📆

12/02/2026

Have you noticed any of the below with you're child?
If you want advice or support around what to do for next steps then drop in to the SEND support group. No diagnosis or referral to pathway needed 💫

BMG patients, we came across this post from The Contented Child today and it really stopped me in my tracks 🧠✨

Not all learning differences look the same.
📖 Some affect reading
✍️ Some affect writing
🔢 Some affect numbers
🤸 Some affect movement

But here’s the important part 👇
These are brain differences — not laziness, not lack of effort, not a motivation problem, and definitely not a measure of intelligence 💡💖

This visual gently explains dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and dyspraxia, helping us look beneath a child’s struggles and respond with understanding instead of pressure 🤍

Saving this for those moments when something feels harder than it “should” — and we need the words to explain why 🌱

So worth a read (and a save) 📌💬

So lovely to see the Ross Centre being used for something incredible. Wishing everyone at The SEND Den lots of luck in their new venture 💙💛

💙💛 An exciting development for The SEND Den… Phase One is coming! 💙💛

We’re so excited to share a BIG update we have quietly been working on 🤍

We recently spotted an opportunity we couldn’t miss the former Ross Children’s Centre in Morecambe became available, and after lots of careful thought, we knew it was the perfect chance to open Phase One of The SEND Den.

Just to be really clear and transparent:

👉 This is not a replacement for our plans at Ryelands.
Ryelands remains our large and will be the main SEND Den. It will offer far more than what we’re able to provide at our Morecambe branch.

Think of this as a smaller addition / first step allowing us to start supporting families sooner, while our larger SEND Den at Ryelands continues to come together.

The best part?

The building itself doesn’t require major work just putting The SEND Den stamp on it 💙

That means we’re hopeful and excited to be opening as soon as March 🤞✨

This phase allows us to:

• Welcome families sooner
• Begin offering sessions and support
• Learn, grow and shape what’s to come
• Keep momentum going while Ryelands develops

Thank you, as always, for the incredible support, encouragement and belief in what we’re building.

We can’t wait to take this next step 💙

More updates coming very soon… 👀✨🥳😬
