OUR BEGINNING
James is our middle child. He loves football, trips to the cinema, good food and spending time with his friends.
Our own experience of trying to find the right short-break support for James made us think about what we wanted that experience to look and feel like for him.
That soon grew into something we hoped could help other families too.
Our story started here.
Meet James!
OUR APPROACH
That’s why we take the time to find out what works for each child.
We get to know what they enjoy, how they communicate and what makes them feel comfortable. We work closely with families from the beginning, so what matters to them and their child is part of the support we provide.
Build confidence · Make friendships · Make happy memories · Discover interests · Grow independence · Find calm
OUR SUPPORT
So we can shape our support around what they need.
Support looks different for every child. Explore some of the ways we can shape their time at New Beginnings around what works for them.
Every child or young person is supported as an individual. We take into account their needs, routines, communication, interests and preferences, so their support can be shaped around what works for them.
Some children and young people may need additional support with parts of their day. We work with families to understand their individual needs and agree how they can be safely and appropriately supported during their time with us.
Children and young people can enjoy a range of recreational, sensory, creative and social activities, with opportunities to make choices, build relationships, discover interests and try new experiences.
Some children want to be active and social, while others may need quieter time or space to regulate. Our different spaces can be used flexibly, depending on what works for each child throughout their day.
OUR SPACE
Different spaces for different moments.
From getting involved in activities to taking some time out, our spaces give children and young people different ways to enjoy their time with us.
