Swings & Smiles offers play sessions for children with special needs and their whole family at our centre in Thatcham. We have specialist play resources to enable children with a wide range of disabilities to play with siblings and other family members in a secure and safe environment.

We provide many opportunities for play, cooking, art, sport and much more. We have a personal care room as well as fixed and portable hoists. Our garden is totally secure and the building is on one level with lots of space outside to eat if you'd like to bring a picnic.
