Inclusion statement

At Children Lead The Way, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and neuro-affirming space where every child is celebrated for who they are. We welcome children who are home educated, flexi-schooled, or awaiting SEND placements, along with their parents or carers, to join us for relaxed and supportive two-hour sessions every Tuesday morning. Our values and ethos are focused on following the needs and lead of the child with empathy, acceptance, understanding, trust and patience. We believe every child can thrive when supported in this way.

Our team of passionate volunteers brings extensive experience in neurodiversity and therapeutic outdoor education. We work thoughtfully to create an environment where children feel safe, understood, and free to explore in their own way.

Accessibility Notice:
We are committed to being as inclusive as possible. However, we currently do not have wheelchair access, accessible toilets, or changing facilities on-site. We understand this may limit participation for some families, and we are actively working toward improving access. We welcome open conversations about your child’s needs and how we might support them within our current capabilities.
