Springboard has been providing SEND services for children, young people and their families since 1992, and we pride ourselves on delivering a high quality, fun, and inclusive provision.
Because we know how long it can take to get a formal diagnosis, we don’t require this to access our services, however demand is high, so we encourage you to make the enquiry as early as you can in case a waiting list is in place.
We appreciate that trying to access services can be challenging and confusing. Please call up and talk through the needs and requirements with a staff member if that’s easier.
