About this service
Our short, activity-packed breaks are carefully designed with input from families, ensuring that every child and young person’s unique needs are met. They help individuals develop essential life skills, fostering greater self-reliance. And they’re a gateway to fresh experiences, new friendships, and vibrant memories.
A Kids professional can take your child out for some fun— whether it’s a trip to the cinema, bowling alley, or a splash at the local swimming pool. They have a joyful experience, and it gives you as a family a break from caregiving duties. Or, if you prefer, for shared memories if the whole family’s out for the day, a Kids worker can come along to make sure everyone has an amazing time.
Our team is made up of skilled professionals, from buddies and key workers to mentors, support workers, and specialised caregivers. Their expertise ensures that everyone’s needs are met with care and precision.
We’re fully registered with OFSTED, and we strictly adhere to all relevant guidelines, ensuring a safe and trustworthy environment for all.
All support through this Kids short breaks service is out in the community or dedicated supporting sites across Bracknell, at the current time support in the home is not available.
