My name is Kaighley Cruickshanks and I am an experienced and highly skilled childcare provider within Dumfries and Galloway. My Summer Programme will transport and provide fun days out to different venues/experiences across the region and beyond. These trips will vary in time and distance ensuring that the different needs and interests of children are catered for. For activities over 3 hours, food will be provided with many trips/experiences offering eating out opportunities! Through the application process children, with their parent(s)/guardian(s),can choose activities that interest them. I will aim to offer at least one of these through the Summer.

We have organised a programme of sport and physical activity sessions across the region for children with a physical, learning or sensory disability to take part in. Sessions are for all abilities and will be focused on having fun and learning new skills. Sign up to any of our sessions where our coaches will be happy to lead you through the session.
