holiday childcare for ASD son

[vickibee]

can anyone recommend a setting that offers holiday childcare close to S36 postcode? My son has additional needs and has really been struggling with a mainstream holiday club, perhaps a CM may be more suitable, a calmer setting with fewer kids? I am struggling with this so any help is appreciated.

Have you contacted your local families information to see if they have knowledge of local cm's who have training and or experience with your child's needs? My LA has a list of people who can offer better support to various needs.

yes i did but i just got emailed a list of Cm and holiday clubs without any additional information. I don't know how to filter through it all. He is also 11 yo so a lot of clubs end at 12 but he has social maturity of a much younger child and cannot be left unsupervised.

I would try childcare.co.uk and then ring around the childminders on your list. Do you have a local support group or special school that may have contacts?

Try asking for the Inclusion team at your LA and see if they know anyone, sometimes the bods on the phone only do the standard list and don't think outside the box.

Our area has a Childminder vacancy/parents Facebook page and this kind of question comes up sometimes from parents. It’s worth doing a Facebook search for your area in case there is something similar where you are.
Also, can you speak to his teacher/teaching assistant at school, they might be able to point tou in the right direction.
