We coped through COVID
We offer flexible, tailored provision to meet each client’s specific needs, interests, and learning goals. Services are available Monday to Friday, year-round or during term breaks, from single days up to five days a week. We provide a free taster day to assess individual needs, followed by an experience assessment and feedback session to help create the ideal schedule.
Clients enjoy a light breakfast (hot drink, toast, yogurt, or fruit) and a choice of two healthy home-cooked lunches or a jacket potato/toastie. You can also bring your own. We cater to all dietary needs. Weekly menus are client-chosen for healthy, wholesome meals, with themed international dishes on Wednesdays.
