Services & facilities
Explore our newest centre
Our Glasgow centre is a bright, welcoming space designed for play, creativity, and connection.
Children can explore the play hall, filled with toys and activities to suit all ages and interests. Sensory seekers can enjoy calming light features in our dedicated sensory room, with a fully equipped Rompa Sensory Room arriving soon.
Outdoors, we’re refreshing the playground with new toys while we plan exciting updates as part of our next phase. Please note the sensory garden is currently fenced off after storm damage, but we’ll reopen it as soon as it’s safe.
We’ve also got two new accessible toilets and a fully equipped changing space with shower and changing bed.
Need a breather? Help yourself to a cuppa in our kitchen area while your child plays nearby. Our friendly team is always on hand to support, but play is led by your child, encouraging independence, confidence, and fun.
