Bring the beach to your little ones this December in our indoor coastal play session!

This is an indoor play session designed to introduce children with special educational needs (SEN) to our coastal habitats and wildife in a safe and controlled setting. Through interactive games, themed sensory bins and real specimens from the beach, children can find out what wildlife we might find on our beaches and how we can be respectful of them in their homes.

Mini Rangers has been designed with SEN children in mind, but all are welcome. All children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times.

This is a child-led, low-pressure environment to gently introduce the idea of respecting wildife and the role we play in nature, and you are welcome to sign in or out at any point in the session.

This is a FREE event, although tickets are required so we can prepare accordingly. We may take photos during the session for future promotional materials and our records; please let me know if you would like to opt out of photography on the day.

We will be located in the Community Room of the Central Hub on York Road.

There is a cafe on-site offering drinks and snacks.

Pay and display parking is located nearby, outside of Middleton Grange Shopping Centre.
