Any families whose child took part in the WDS research, and  who would still like to attend then please get in contact with  Monique for availability of places.

If you require any further information please contact Monique Lauder on 0208 428 6706.

We look forward to sharing this special day with you.

The day has kindly been fully funded by the Children No 1 Foundation. The only stipulation they have, as discussed in the acceptance form, is that they video and photograph the event. In addition the foundation will be supplying t-shirts with the charity’s logo on it for the children to wear. This is to promote their charity and help raise more funds, helping more children with special needs. Should you need further information please e-mail your comments to national.contact@wdssg.org.uk

The Crèche employees are being provided by The Log Cabin, Adventure Play for Children, who are all qualified in playwork in NVQ, Teachers and Classroom Assistants. They are all police checked and the majority of them have First Aid training, although First Aid is provided by the Zoo as well.

Crèche facilities will be provided for approximately 60 children, older children will be able to go around the Zoo with the Log Cabin Staff. If you require this facility please fill in the Acceptance Form attached as well as the Childcare Form and send it back to us ASAP.

There is pay and display parking on the outer circle road of Regent’s Park near the Zoo, or the cheaper option is the Zoo’s own car park as shown on the map enclosed.

Please note that lunch IS NOT being provided by us. We highly recommend that you bring a packed lunch as the Restaurant queues in the Zoo are long and tedious. There are picnic areas around the Zoo for your comfort. Under no circumstances must food be eaten in the conference rooms.
