The Play to Learn Space (next to the large Playgroup Room) is available for support workers or parents/caregivers and children with autism or other special needs, under the age of seven. It offers a quieter place for interactions. No need to book the room – just drop in during opening hours on “drop in” dates (see below). If the door is locked, just ask one of the OEYC staff to open it for you.
As the room is sometimes used for other OEYC activities, we suggest you contact them to confirm that the room is available.
