CAYPS - Children and Young People's Service
Welcome to Burton Street’s Children and Young People’s Service, a haven of fun and support for children with learning disabilities and difficulties. We provide supportive environments for children aged 8 to 18, offering sessions from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturdays during term time and school holidays (except Christmas), respectively.
In our fully accessible Bamforth Building, children have access to a range of activities tailored to their interests and needs. From free play to structured activities, our focus is on providing a nurturing environment where children can flourish. We prioritise individual attention by maintaining a small group size, allowing children to explore their independence or engage in group activities as they choose.

Saturday Club: A World of Possibilities
At our Saturday Club, we understand that every child is unique, and our aim is to make the experience as laid-back or as exciting as they desire. The Bamforth building offers a variety of spaces tailored to different activities, allowing children to freely explore and choose their preferred options. Sensory and messy play are perennial favourites, providing a delightful mix of exploration and creativity.
For those who enjoy culinary adventures, our bungalow kitchen is the perfect place to bake up some fun. The aroma of delicious treats fills the air as children experiment with ingredients and create tasty masterpieces. If a breath of fresh air is in order, our newly designed outdoor playground beckons, offering a safe and enjoyable space for play.
The arts and crafts zone is a haven for those who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. Here, children can immerse themselves in creative projects, showcasing their artistic talents. Meanwhile, for those with boundless energy, our soft play area and multi-use game area provide the perfect outlet for physical activity. And let’s not forget the ever-growing fancy dress wardrobe, encouraging imaginative play and endless costume possibilities.
Inclusive adventures at Burton Street Holiday Club
Our Holiday Club at Burton Street offers an enriching experience tailored to children with learning disabilities and difficulties during all school holidays except Christmas. Our sessions run from 10 am to 3 pm, providing a safe and inclusive environment where children can engage in free or structured play according to their interests and needs.
Located in our fully accessible Bamforth Building, our club utilises a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, including our garden areas and the sports hall across the road on the main site. We prioritise individual attention with small group sizes, ensuring that each child receives personalised support and guidance.
At Burton Street Holiday Club, we believe in empowering children to make choices and participate in activities that resonate with them. Whether they prefer independent exploration or group activities, our club fosters a welcoming atmosphere where every child can thrive and have fun.
Who We Cater To
At Burton Street, we understand that every child is unique, with their own set of talents, interests, and challenges. Our services are carefully designed for children with learning disabilities, who truly blossom in an environment that both understands and caters to their specific needs.
Our experienced team are not just facilitators but friends who foster a nurturing environment for your child’s growth and development. We make it our mission to ensure each child feels safe, understood, and above all, happy.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what one of our many wonderful parents has to say:
“[My sons] are encouraged to do what they can for themselves and be self directed with their choices around activities. I feel my kids are encouraged to be as independent as possible whilst in your care. “
Making a Difference, One Child at a Time
At Burton Street Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of positive experiences and inclusive environments. Our Children and Young People’s Service strives to make a difference in the lives of children with additional needs and their families. By providing a range of activities and opportunities for exploration, we aim to create lasting memories and contribute to the holistic development of each child.
