Children with additional needs

If your child has any additional needs, please contact us before booking so we can discuss how best to support them.

If your child normally has a learning/support mentor or 1:1 provision at school, they will need similar support during the A Touch of the Wild programme. The mentor must be suitably qualified and hold a valid DBS certificate.

To ensure your child’s safety, please make us aware of any additional needs during the booking process. If appropriate support is not arranged in advance, we may require you to provide a support mentor or collect your child from the session.

What Our Parents Say

"Used for holiday club during half term, my boys had lots of fun (in spite of the very wet weather!). They came home very tired and mucky, they had clearly had a great time!"
Hannah Bailey
"I booked my 2 kids (8 and 12) in for a day over half term and they both absolutely loved it. They came home completely shattered from being outdoors all day and smelling of bonfire! I’ll book them in again soon…"
