> watching faces or colourful animations, as well as taking part in

> interactive play sessions. Participation is voluntary and the whole visit

> is accommodated to your child's needs. You will be present throughout.

> Travel costs to central London (WC1) are reimbursed and special

> arrangements are made for families who live further away.
