Diamond Families Wellies Club block mentored by Diamond Families CIC

A summary

An inclusive and engaging holiday club designed for all children, set in a safe, sensory-rich environment on a working farm. This unique experience offers children the chance to explore the joys of farming, animal care, and outdoor learning in a supportive and nurturing setting. Our holiday club is designed to welcome every child, with experienced staff who support a wide range of needs and abilities. We focus on creating a calm, structured, and friendly environment where all children can feel confident, valued, and included, taking part in farm-based fun at their own pace. Children will enjoy hands-on activities such as feeding the animals, collecting eggs, planting seeds, grooming ponies, and learning how food grows. These experiences are designed to stimulate the senses, encourage communication, and build fine and gross motor skills, while nurturing independence and a connection to nature. The day is thoughtfully structured with visual timetables, quiet zones, and sensory breaks to ensure children feel secure and supported. Each child is encouraged to join in activities that suit their interests and comfort levels, with flexibility to adapt as needed. Whether it’s cuddling a rabbit, exploring a muddy sensory trail, or taking a donkey for a walk, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We pride ourselves on creating a fully inclusive experience where families can feel confident that their child is safe, happy, and engaged in an environment designed for all. We aim to help children develop confidence, social skills, and a lifelong love of the great outdoors. Diamond Families runs during school holidays and is open to children aged 5–15. We work closely with parents and carers before the session to understand each child’s preferences, routines, and any support needs. Let your child’s imagination grow as they become a farmer for the day – learning, laughing, and exploring in a place where every child can shine.
