Swindon Early Years Centre, which is a centre for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), is now open for stay and play sessions.
Located in the refurbished nursery building at the Everleigh Centre in Penhill, the new facility is helping more families access tailored support in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
The centre features:

The Swindon Early Years Centre supports young children under the age of five with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) and their families.
They do this through:

- Portage home visiting for children with identified complex needs
- Specific support related to the child’s needs, for example, completion of DLA forms, Early Help and Support Records, specific and/or, time limited pieces of work
- Signposting parents to other services, offering advice and support and helping families to navigate the SEND system
The allocation of places is based on certain criteria and follows an admissions process.
