Little PACSO is for 0-4 year olds
When you first start to notice that your child is 'different' to their peers, or they receive a diagnosis of an additional need/ disability, it can feel as though you’ve been dropped onto another planet; where everything that was familiar is turned upside down.
There's a whole new language to learn, experts to speak to whose job title you can’t even pronounce, and more appointments to attend than you would have ever thought possible. You may feel overwhelmed, lonely or frightened for the future.
Little PACSO provides opportunities throughout the year to support you through this journey, so you know you are not alone. At our relaxed sessions, others don't judge, and your children can play and learn in their own way.
Weekly Toddler Groups
These weekly toddler groups are for Parents and Carers of children aged 0 - 4 years with a disability or special educational need.
Bring all your pre-school children along to these welcoming and relaxed sessions, and meet other families in a similar situation.
No booking required, so just come along! Admission is free (£1 suggested donation).

Family Events & Weekend Meets
We understand that weekdays are busy with nursery, appointments and work, so we also provide monthly weekend/ school holiday meets. These give the whole family a chance to make memories together.

Parent Support
Each term, our parent social evenings are a great opportunity to meet others in the same situation.
Through our WhatsApp Group, (exclusively for parents of children 0-5 years), and closed Facebook Group (for all PACSO parents) we provide forums to connect with other parent carers who just 'get it'! Whether you need a listening ear, some solidarity, or advice, no question is too strange to ask!
Joining Little PACSO has been amazing for myself and my little boy. It's a great network of families who understand our personal challenges and together support each other through the struggles we face having children with additional needs. Recommendations given to each other from peoples' personal experience of their child/children is valuable, no judgement is made and help comes from the heart. ... I know from being on the Little PACSO WhatsApp group that families really do appreciate [the weekly stay and play groups]. I have attended the monthly catch ups... and they have been amazing. It's clear to see so much thought and organisation goes into these events and the children have so much fun. We love PACSO ❤
