The Colour Lab: SEND Stories, Music, Movement and Play

A Music & Movement Adventure – Created Especially for Children with SEND and Their Families

Come and explore, sing, move and play together in a calm, welcoming space where your child can truly be themselves. This joyful class is designed especially for children with SEND aged 1–6 and their grown-ups. Through music, movement, storytelling and hands-on play, you’ll share special moments while supporting your child’s confidence, coordination and social development. All in a gentle, pressure-free environment. Each session blends simple group activities with plenty of free exploration, so your child can join in in the way that feels right for them. Whether that means dancing, watching, exploring instruments, or listening to a story. Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. The space will be supportive, understanding and flexible. If your child has specific needs, sensory preferences or anything you’d like us to know, please feel free to share; we’re here to help you both feel comfortable and confident. Little ones don’t need to be walking to join the fun — this class is for all movers, wrigglers, crawlers and explorers.
