"It's been the most wonderful journey and I am so grateful to the Peter Pan Centre for everything. The help and support I hove received is obsolutely immeasurable. from help with filling oul poperwork and supporting with school visits, to facing new experiences in the community thot I could have never imagined conquering alone! Stay and Play meant I met other familie5 who understand and ore going through similar things which was just an absolute breath of fresh air. I have made Some of the most amozing supportive friendships and things don't seem so lonely ond daunting now that I have people around me who understand.- In September 2024 Florence started her Early Education placement at our Centre in Wolstanton. Jodie says, "My Florence has the most special relationship with her key person Alice. The amount of love and care she has given to her is so special. Florence gets very excited when we tell her that she's going to see Alice, and she loves to look at photographs of what fun things they got up to during their time together. It was a big step for me as a parent to a child with special needs to step back and let somebody else take the reins but Alice quickly showed me that I hod nothing to worry about. and that Florence is in the most copoble and nurturing hands."
