The difference we make
Since opening our doors for the first time in June 2014, Swings & Smiles has continued to grow in ways we could only have hoped for. Today, more than 900 families are registered with us, each one bringing their own story, their own challenges and their own moments of joy.
We are proud to offer a specialist, fully resourced play space where children with learning difficulties and disabilities can feel safe, included and free to be themselves. It is a place where families can relax, connect and share time together without pressure or judgement.
The impact of this space is best described by the families who use it every day. Their words reflect the comfort, confidence and happiness they find here, and remind us why Swings & Smiles matters so deeply to so many.

Our Family Stories
Every family who comes to Swings & Smiles brings a story filled with love, strength and moments that stay in the heart forever. Our Family Stories capture these real experiences, from the first spark of confidence in a child discovering they can play freely to the deep breath a parent finally gets to take knowing they are understood and supported. These stories remind us of the power of togetherness and the magic that happens when families find a place where they can laugh, grow and simply be themselves.
