Where about in Stafford is it chuck?
From my experience, all our appointments were dealt with by Stafford hospital. Dr's from genetic centre's/neurology etc in Birmingham did clinics in Stafford Hospital, so there wasnt any travelling involved for us.
The town is old market town - it the County town obv, has most stuff, huge library, leisure centre, CDC (!), Uni, College, RAF (lol) most shops, M&S, topshop, mothercare DP's etc etc Asda, Sainsburys and Tesco, lots of kid friendly pubs. Cannock Chase is about 10-15 mins drive for plenty of walks. Cannock Chase is really beautiful.
Crime rate is quite low. We never had much rouble with crime tbh. had problems with neighbours but hopefully you wont be living up our old street.
I only have experience of pre-school support tbh. My dd used to go to a special school for physical disabilities, they take 2-7yr olds, most children above 4 have outreach to mainstream whislt having most the therapeutic input through the special school. There is one main special school in Stafford for learning disabilities (Marshfields), they take 2-19 yr olds, one in Lichfield 5-17 yr olds which is for Physical disabilities (Saxon Hill), there is one in Cannock for PD aswell (Beaconfield I think it's called) and one in Hednesford (William Baxters) which is for moderate learning disabilities. All have good reputations.
I know a few children that have gone to mainstream with statements (statements are quite easy to get in Staffs) and have support and they do pretty well. Most schools are quite good in Stafford for this. Only one I know my friend had problems with was Berkswich. The rest are okay. Silkmore is a 'failing' primary (when I was there) but tbh they have a 70% intake of SN children! and are suppossed to be very good with SN provision .
Anyway i wont rattle on, just ask me what you like and I will try to help you! I lived in Stafford for 8 years and lived on most sides of the town!
