Specialist Childcare Available at The Vinery

Hawthorn Family Support Centre at The Vinery has spaces available for new children aged 0-3.

Many of the families at Sunshine and Smiles have enjoyed and benefitted from this nursery-like centre for children with additional needs. For a small contribution towards costs they provide specialist childcare one day a week (Monday, Tuesday or Friday) while a parent or carer stays on site in the parents’ room or in the nursery if they prefer.

There is no need for a referral, just call 0113 235 1331 or email kath.surtees@leedsmencap.org.uk or abigail.cunningham@leedsmencap.org.uk. 

More info can be found on their website - Leeds Mencap
