The Kidz Haven – Supporting children with physical, learning and developmental disabilities, and their families.

Where Every
Child Can Thrive.

Our Vision.

To enhance the lives of children with physical, learning, and developmental disabilities, and their families, within the Manchester Jewish community.

Our Mission.

To provide individualised care in a safe, loving, and fun environment, in which children are treated with respect, whilst their families receive much needed respite.

Our Values.

To show acceptance of, and appreciation for, our children’s individual differences and neurodiversity, through adaptation of the child’s environment into one in which they can thrive.

WHAT WE DO.

Our after-school club provides a much needed opportunity for children to relax, play and thrive whilst their families receive respite. Our specialised programme ensures that every child receives an abundance of love, care and focus whilst they enjoy sensory play, animal therapy, baking, crafts, eating supper and much more.

AFTER SCHOOL
CLUB

For the older boys that we support, we offer our weekly Boys’ Club. Taking place in a local games room, the boys have access to Xboxes, football table, pool table, table tennis, an outdoor football pitch, and crafts and activities too.

BOYS CLUB

Through our Buddy Scheme, a child is paired with a volunteer, who takes the child out in the community to enjoy an activity, hobby or meal together. This scheme allows parents to have respite during the times when they need it the most, and provides the child with an opportunity to experience things they may be unable to do alone.

BUDDY
SCHEME

We embrace a whole-family approach, recognising the need to additionally support a child’s siblings. This provides opportunities for brothers and sisters to come together for fun parties and activities throughout the year.

SIBLING
EVENTS

WHAT WE DO.

The school day can often be challenging for the children we support. Our club runs twice weekly and provides a much needed opportunity for children to relax, play and thrive whilst their families receive respite. Our specialised programme ensures that every child receives an abundance of love, care and focus whilst they enjoy sensory play, dog therapy, baking, crafts, eating supper and much more.
