Not only do we provide extra support but we go above and beyond to ensure our children learn long lasting life skills. Here, at the playground we run a wide range of inclusion projects from arts and crafts, cooking to even writing CV's. Our inclusion projects are designed by the children and a designated member of staff, for the children.
Our cooking projects have shown to be in the highest demand. Not only so the young chefs cook a healthy hot meal for an average of 100 children but they have to do this on a budget. Learning money management as well as being able to broadcast their cooking talents.
