Best Halloween trick or treating streets

Would love to know the best spots in the area for a few excited children. We generally don’t partake but have some American friends visiting and wanted to make their children feel at home. :mrgreen:

Re: Child with ASD - Honeywell, Belleville, Ravenstone, Beatrix Potter, Allfarthing or Swaffield?

Also have heard nothing but rave reviews about Smallwood. A dear friends daughter is there, but her needs are far beyond asd. Is this a choice with the council? Are you working out a placement request for your ehcp? It’s not wandsworth, but our daughter attends blossom House in motspur park. It was ...

Re: Child with ASD - Honeywell, Belleville, Ravenstone, Beatrix Potter, Allfarthing or Swaffield?

I really liked the senco I met at ravenstone and really believed in her program there- calm down room, zones, and what seems like a well thought out curriculum.
