I took my son to it a few times but didn't think it was that great. My son is a bit of a "free spirit" shall we say, and the girl who was teaching the classes seemed to have more of a background in theatre/dance than child development. I'm sure that's true of a lot of these classes, but I was annoyed that she rolled her eyes at him more than she tried to properly include him. I think I left every class angry, not really the point of going. He wasn't quite two yet, maybe part of the problem. It might be better for three and up. I think they offer a free class, maybe try and see what you think?


Think it was ?3 per class.


On the other hand, we did Little Bubbles and Claire was absolutely fantastic with my son and worked pretty hard to get him to join the activities. I found having a teacher who knows a bit about working with children made all the difference.

Is little bubbles a Friday too? (Where?)


I tried one class of that but it didn't work well for me with twins, I couldn't keep them on task and there were several times the mums had to pick the babies up and I couldn't manage it with two. Might work better now mine are older (20m)

Fuschia, we go to Little Bubbles on a Friday - it's at the church part way down Barry Road, she runs 3 classes (1st for under 2's, then 2 sessions for over 2's). I manage it with my two quite easily so I'm sure you'd be fine now that yours are slightly older.


Check out the website for more details of sessions/venues etc.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
