We’ve just received an amazing donation of books! 📚✨

These will be available during our sessions, giving children a chance to enjoy some quiet time near our dark dens and explore the stories at their own pace. We believe it’s so important to create calm, cosy spaces where children can relax, unwind, and develop a love of books. 💛

Tickets are now live through our bookwhen link!

🌳 Forest School Update 🌳

We’re delighted to be planning our relaxed Spectrum Forest School sessions 🌿

Subject to improved weather conditions, we are hoping to begin in May. A confirmed start date will be shared as soon as possible.

A gentle note:
While we are passionate about creating a supportive and inclusive outdoor environment, we are not qualified Forest School leaders. These sessions will be child-led, with experiences shaped by each child’s individual interests and supported at their own pace.

Eligibility criteria:
Children must have attended two or more of our previous sessions.

Eligible children will receive one FREE session.

If you meet the criteria and would like to express your interest, please comment below and we will be in touch.

We’re so proud of Holly Mae for completing her incredible “Lap the Lake” challenge every single day throughout March! 🌟

Thanks to her dedication and determination, she has raised an amazing £465 for us here at Spectrum 💙

Because of her efforts, we’ve been able to treat the children to some fantastic new equipment for our sessions, including:
✨ 2 scooter boards
✨ 2 ride-on swivel cars
✨ Air Toobz Power Play
✨ Large glow sensory blocks

These will make such a difference to the children’s experiences, and we’re so grateful for Holly’s hard work and everyone who supported her.

Thank you, Holly—you’re amazing
