3 weeks agoThe kids feel so at home here! Fantastic aircon and comfortable calming spaces. They can relax or join in activities and always can just be themselves.

3 months agoI highly recommend this incredible, neuroaffirming service. There are very few services like this that truly understand the neurodivergent experience and make a safe, welcoming space for children and adults. The actual clinic is a dream with low lighting, air conditioning, comfy seating, sensory toys, sensory lights etc. Sammy is so accommodating and goes above and beyond, even providing yummy meals and snacks for participants.

3 months agoCreative Minds is an amazing space. Sammi has done an incredible job to make it so inviting but also mindful of sensory challenges so the space isn’t overwhelming. The groups are unique and tailored to the activities participants want to do and explores different interests many spaces don’t offer. This business is a gem and I am so thankful I have found it.
