POP Essex: Stay & Play Sessions

POP Essex was founded in July 2022 by a group of SEND parents, looking to fulfil the needs of SEND Families in Essex who needed a safe, secure and non-judgemental environment for their children to play, socialise and above all, be themselves. Our SEND stay & play sessions are held weekly in the Braintree (old Argos building), Braintree, Essex. There is a charge for this Service - £10 per 3 hour Stay and Play session.

Remote In-person Charges apply
