a month agoWe were recommended to come along to Creative Minds and haven't looked back since first stepping foot inside this beautiful space. What Sammi and her team of beautiful people have created here is so wonderful. Such a safe, cosy, welcoming, happy, gentle, calming and yet vibrant and creative space. Our son has separation anxiety and wouldn't let me drop him off anywhere but after one session here he happily said see you later Mum, see you you when I see you! He just seemed to feel safe and calm and happy. Creative Minds has been the best thing for our son and for me!! Such a huge support for me as well. Thank you Sammi and team 💖

a month agoMy son goes to Creative Minds twice a week, and absolutely loves it. Sam has created the most wonderful, homey environment where everyone feels welcome. I can’t speak highly enough of this place. The patience, kindness, and empathy shown to my son has helped him blossom, he has grown emotionally and has made some very good friends. I can’t thank these guys enough!

3 months 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.
