Blossoms SEND CIC

Blossoms is a welcoming, inclusive space in Southend-on-Sea designed to support children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), complex needs, and their families. Our Stay and Play sessions provide a safe, relaxed environment where children can explore, play, and develop at their own pace while parents and carers feel supported and understood. The space is thoughtfully set up to meet a wide range of sensory, developmental and physical needs- offering a variety of engaging activities and specialist equipment.

During our Stay and Play sessions, families can access a wide range of facilities designed to support different abilites. We have sensory spaces, lights and fibre optics. A large soft play area where children can climb, crawl, jump, and move freely in a safe and supportive environment. Our outdoor area provides even more opportunities including a sand pit, activities as well as climbing equipment that supports physical development and adventurous play.

Throughout the sessions, we also offer a variety of hands-on activities including fun tuff trays and messy play experiences. We have many tailoured and staff-led activities too.

At Blossoms, we're passionate about creating a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive. Blossoms was founded on the belief that every child deserves to play, learn, and connect in a safe and supportive environment. Our sessions are designed to nurture confidence, creativity, and joy—tailored with care to meet individual needs. But we're not just here for the children—we’re here for the whole family, providing a sense of community, understanding, and encouragement every step of the way.

We support children with all types of special educational needs and disabilities, including autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, learning disabilities, profound and complex physical disabilities and complex needs. Every child is unique, and our environment is created to be flexible and adaptable so that children can engage in ways that work best for them. We have tailored sessions to meet each children needs and abilities- please get in contact via email to see what session best suits your child.

All Blossoms sessions are Stay and Play, this means an adult or carer is responsible for their children at all times.
