Does your young child or someone you know have Special Educational Needs or Disabilities?

Here at Ferring Country Centre we believe that children learn and develop a lot through play and those with special needs are no different. In fact, play can support the specific difficulties your child might have, for example if your child has:

* a hearing or visual impairment, play can help strengthen their other senses to help them navigate and explore the world.

* a mobility impairment, play can exercise their muscles and improve coordination

* autistic spectrum disorder, they may feel happier in a quieter setting, which private hire can provide, without overwhelming distractions or noises.

* attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) they will have the chance to express themselves and exert some energy.

Although we totally support integration of all children playing in our soft play area together, we are conscious that open sessions do not always suit every child's needs. Therefore, we are hiring out our farm themed soft play area especially for toddlers under 107cm with SEND. 

Private SEND Sessions are £10 for an hour. Please email [email protected] for availability. You are welcome to share the session with friends with similar needs or family members.

All tickets are non-refundable, so please check your date carefully when booking.

If for any reason you wish to transfer your ticket to another date, we are able to do this if you provide us with over 24 hours notice. Please be aware there will be an administration fee of £1.50

You can book your session via our online shop here.
