If any adults or children have additional needs, please feel free to let us know so we can support you in any way possible.
We are committed to ensuring that Small Wonders is an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.
Wherever we can, we will make reasonable adjustments to help enable all families to attend and fully enjoy our sessions.
Your comfort and wellbeing are important to us, and we are always happy to have a conversation about how we can best support you.
-
We are a big, busy group. We have places for 100 families in each session.
-
If spaces are available, you are very welcome to use our on-site car park.
There is also free on-street parking for up to two hours on many of the roads surrounding the LifeSpring Centre.
A council-run pay-and-display car park is located at the top of Clifton Street. (We have previously approached the council about reducing the charges, but unfortunately this has not been successful so far.)
Additional parking can be found at the large Sainsbury’s nearby or around West Park.
Please note that parking in these areas can become quite busy, particularly at peak times, so we recommend allowing a little extra time to find a space.
-
The group exists to serve the whole community, regardless of faith or background, providing a welcoming space where families can build friendships, access support, and enjoy quality time together in a safe and nurturing space.
-
Parents/carers are not permitted to take any photos during Small Wonders in line with our child protection policy.
This ensures that Small Wonders is a safe and happy place for everyone.
Not all parents or guardians consent to photos of their children being taken due to personal safety and privacy concerns:
Foster carers – Protecting a child’s location to prevent forced moves that could be traumatic.
Adoptive parents – Preventing birth parents from tracing the child.
Relationship breakdowns – Ensuring safety from potentially harmful ex-partners.
Social media concerns – Some families avoid platforms like Facebook to prevent harassment.
We ask everyone to sign a Photography agreement when they join Small Wonders and failure to comply will mean you will lose your place at Small Wonders.
