Dingwall, Highlands: Stay, Play & Connect
​
Our sessions are designed to provide neurodiverse children and young people (and their friends and siblings), aged 0-16, with a supportive, non-judgemental, and sensory-friendly environment where they can thrive.
Our new sensory and neurodiverse specific facility in Dingwall, opening Wednesday 11th December 2024, offers a variety of spaces, including our large soft play structure (for up to 14 children) and sensory room, carefully designed and tailored to meet the diverse needs of the children.
​
While we await our full registration for a Day Care of Children service from the Care Inspectorate, we are opening our full facility up to children and families to make full use through our stay, play and connect sessions, 7 days per week throughout December 2024 and the festive holidays. Our times and days will be revised in 2025 once we have our other services up and running, and learn what demand there is for our stay, play and connect sessions.
Parents and carers bringing their children along can relax, connect with one another, with access to one of our trained staff while their child safely plays.​ You will have full access and use of our kitchen to make a cuppa while you're here, as well as our accessible W.C and wet rooms.
