About Debbi's Doodles
Debbi Doodles is a safe space for students to create, have fun and relax. We specialise in creating individual plans for children with special educational needs but cater for all children who love creating.
There is never any pressure to complete a work of art but to experience the process and just to enjoy the experience.
Your child may benefit from sessions at Debbi Doodles if they lack confidence or self-esteem, they benefit from sensory experiences or they would like to learn a new skill.
Introduction
Sometimes it helps if you feel you have already met before.

Reviews....
February 4, 2022
We had the best time today at Debbi’s Doddles - a calm stimulating environment enjoying the experience of Art/Clay and lot’s of Sensory stimulation. Archie struggles with confidence, self esteem & doesn’t believe in his own abilities. There was no pressure in the session, Archie just enjoyed the experience. Archie said “this is so satisfying” whilst playing with the clay. The whole atmosphere was so calm & quiet with the sound of running water “listen to the birds Mam, it’s so cool here”. I can’t recommend Debbi highly enough - she was so friendly & gave Archie the reassurance he needed whilst creating some fab clay models. We are so looking forward to our next session.
