What parents of SEND and carers are saying about Don't Burst My Bubble's art classes


“Thank you Claire for being so inclusive for children with special educational needs and hidden disabilities, you have three children in your ARTY sessions who see the world differently and have some quirky ways!


Your patience and understanding of their needs is the reason they return and enjoy the ARTY sessions : )

Your home from home art space and your encouragement for them to build confidence to try out new things and just have a go at art!xx”

 Natalie


Mother of child with FASD & ADHD regular attendee to Thursday's ARTY


“Claire, thank you so much. As you know my 8 year old daughter has complex additional needs which can effect her behaviour. She struggles to mix with other children and going into new environments due to her sensory issues around noise and busy settings.

We attended one of your ARTY sessions in December, Mia struggled. Despite this you included her and the positive was that she stayed the whole session.

Last night at Mia's request we attended and WOW what a difference. She entered your home confidently and engaged in the majority of the 2 hour class AND left with her first master piece!

This is all down to you giving her the chance to be herself but with firmness and fairness (which is what she needs to feel safe) encouraging, supporting and understanding her!

Thank you glom both of us : ) "

Clair Armitt

Mother of child with complex needs


" I just wanted to show you Alice's dragon picture she did for her homework.


Also to tell you the difference from before she started art class with you. Normally this would have been a pencil drawing teeny tiny in the bottom of the corner and drawn as quickly as she could. She never felt very inspired before.


Today she has thought about about the materials, size, placement, colours, layering the colours on top, blending the colours.

Also she felt confidence doing it and didn't have a meltdown that it didn't go perfectly!"
