Rainbows is a stay and play group that celebrates strengths, interests and differences.
The group is for pre-school children who have additional needs, who are neurodivergent and/or disabled, and their families.
It provides:
- an opportunity for parents to meet
- a space for children to socialise and explore a variety of resources
- time to have fun, play and learn
The groups run most weeks at 6 locations across the city.

The sessions run for 2 hours, and you are welcome to arrive and leave when you wish within that time.
The practitioners leading the group will play with your child alongside you, and you can talk with them about your child's development. They will provide ideas for play activities that could stimulate your child's development and/or they may signpost other appropriate services or support.
They can also provide some guidance around applications for Disability Living Allowance and charity grants to which you may be entitled.
There is a shared snack for those that want it.
