Trying something new can feel overwhelming for both parents and children 💛 That’s why we’ve created a clear, supportive transition process to help every child feel confident joining our camps.

✨ Initial chat with parents (phone or in person)
📘 Transition booklets so children know what to expect
📄 Detailed parent information packs

But we wanted to do even more…
We’re proud to be working with Lancashire County Council to deliver our Meet the Provider sessions 🤝

These relaxed sessions give families the chance to explore the environment together before attending a full camp. The space is set up just like a normal session, so children can get familiar with the layout, activities and routine 🎨🧩

We also have extra staff on hand purely to support you — answering questions and helping everyone feel at ease 😊
A calm, welcoming way to build confidence, reduce anxiety and make sure you and your child feel ready 💫

Thanks to Lancashire Council for letting us do this!

Supporting individuals with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) is all about understanding how their brains process the world and helping them feel safe, calm, and connected. Regulation strategies—like play, movement, time in nature, and predictable routines—can make a big difference in reducing stress and building confidence. With the right support and co-regulation from caring adults, individuals with FASD can thrive, develop their strengths, and feel more in control of their emotions and daily experiences.
