Little Treasures
EARLY YEARS STAY AND PLAY GROUP
Little Treasures is our weekly SEND-friendly stay and play support group which you can register to attend with your young child (aged 0-5 years) to enjoy play and sensory activities while receiving support from our Early Years Team.
These relaxed and friendly sessions offer a safe, accessible space where your child is free to be themselves and you can share with others and be listened to and supported.
Our Early Years Team are here to:
Encourage your child’s creativity and expression
Support your child’s individual communication
Share ideas and information with you to help you become more confident in supporting your child’s needs
To avoid the children becoming overwhelmed, the numbers at sessions are small, with the same families going along each week. This means that you can connect with others in similar situations to talk and share information and experiences and start to build your support network.
“Through Little Treasures we became more confident, we tried new things, visited new places – the world opened up for us again.”

“The support has been absolutely fantastic. I felt so alone before I found Little Treasures and it has given me the chance to get to know other families like mine and more importantly I have met life long friends. I was so scared of life before Little Treasures but now I feel like we can do anything like any other family.”
Where is Little Treasures held?
We have two locations for our stay and play sessions:
Warmley
Warmley Park School, Tower Road, Warmley, BS30 8YE
Wednesdays (term time only)

Is there a cost?
Sessions are fully funded and there is no cost to attend. However, donations are gratefully received – any amount is much appreciated.
Please can we remind you that you are responsible for supervising your own children at all times during Little Treasures sessions.
How do I join?
Our Little Treasures group is always very popular and due to the number of families requesting a space, there is currently a waiting list.
If you're interested in joining, please fill out the form below and provide us with details to ensure we can tailor our sessions to best suit your child's needs. Our form covers basic family and child information, session preferences, and any specific requirements your child might have.
“SGPC and Little Treasures have connected me with the people I now talk to every day. Their support has helped me let go of the parent I thought I’d be, and be the parent my children need me to be. I couldn’t be more grateful.”
What happens next?
As soon as a place becomes available, we’ll contact you with details about starting dates, and any other important information.
Please check your junk inbox for our emails as sometimes they have a habit of popping up in there!
