Testimonials

“It was really wonderful to be in a place where I knew my children’s behaviours would be ok. It was actually very emotional to be in a place where I knew we were being understood and supported” 

“We have struggled to find groups and events to suit our little one since she was tiny. Space for Yew is like a breath of fresh air, it gives you the ability to relax in typical situations that can be quite stressful neurodivergent families. Space for Yew offer amazing events for families like ours. The quieter times and knowledgeable staff make it so much easier.”

“Absolutely wonderful groups, love that they’re small, love the attention to detail in terms of noting children’s needs and preferences”

“Katie, I can’t thank you enough for how wonderful you were with my children. Being somewhere where we fitted in felt really good. You understood R incredibly well and made sure that I was supported as well as my children. Thank you !!!”

“It has been so hard to find activities to do with D due to her needs. Her PDA makes it difficult to even get her out the front door let alone get involved with doing different things. With the correct encouragement, she was helped to get involved in multiple activities and she had the best time. It is a very rare occurrence that I am able to sit down and relax whilst out, but I did and D enjoyed herself so much!”

“You have created such a unique opportunity for our children to be themselves. And us as parents to be judgement-free for a little while. Thankyou so, so much”

“We love the sessions they are such a relief to us such a welcoming space that is unmatched.”

“Having a place where you know behaviours are understood, and people just get it is so needed! It was a wonderful, warm session and we will definitely be back. “

“I am so grateful for finding Space for Yew as finding places that truly accept my child and allow him the space to be, play and socialise has been impossible! The activities are well thought out and the space is always accepting and calm.”
