We were proud to support the first ever Newcastle SENsational Christmas party!
The event was organised by Rachel Rudd and the amazing team of volunteers, all thanks to funding from Newcastle Parent Carer Forum and Newcastle Children with Disabilities team.
So many local services helped out with this event to make the day extra special.
It was a truly magical day,
It was wonderful to see so many faces old and new at our annual Christmas fayre!
It was a fabulous turnout and our staff amazed us with their amazing baking skills, so many yummy treats to choose from.
We received an amazing selection of bottles and gifts for the tombola’s which were cleared out in no time.
Looking forward to next year!
Here is a little something for those of you who like to plan in advance!
We are very encouraged by these SEN sessions and how they are going and will be continuing them as long as we have interest.
I would also just like to add that at the OTCC we are a very friendly group of parents with a core ethos of inclusivity. Because of our non structured play environment, we have a number of regular customers with children who have individual needs and who traditionally struggle in groups and classes and they have always stated that the café is a safe, non judgemental space, not overcrowded, free play encouraged and more importantly respite for parents. There is ALWAYS a friendly face and someone to chat to.
WE are open 5 days a week 3 sessions per day and welcome anyone at any time.
Wonderful to see so many old and new faces at this weeks coffee morning!
Skills for Life ladies sharing their breadth of experience and knowledge, with added advice and guidance from NAPI (Newcastle Action for Parents and Toddlers) and Nicola from SEN transport.
Looking forward to our next catch up!
We had a busy day in our first hair shop this term.
We had some new children in the salon this term who all really enjoyed the experience.
They were treat to manicures, pedicures, a soak in the foot spa, hand and foot massages as well as a haircut.
We also got very creative with the ‘Girls World Heads’ and each others hair which was great fun.
The next hair shop is Thursday 8th December so keep an eye out for the next booking form.
