Absolutely fantastic Home Educator Day. Very educational and fun at the same time, I must say the staff at Eureka are phenomenal. An absolutely lovely experience, you are made welcome from the second of arriving, I'm useless at remembering names but was greeted by a lovely young lady who explained everything In detail on what was happening and what to expect throughout the day. My Son who is autistic and Sen usually has people talk over him or about him like he is not there but every single member of staff there spoke to him directly and made such an effort with him. One lady who again I'm sorry I can't remember her name but her service again was second to none and absolutely nothing was too much trouble for her. My Son had a bit of a meltdown as he got overwhelmed so I asked if i could take him outside to calm him down which the staff was lovely and so understanding. When we went back inside she kindly offered to take us to the sensory room so we knew where it was for next time, also explaining the sensory packs along with everything else they do to make things easier. The space itself is perfect and we stayed in there for a little while. The educational experience provided is brilliant and the PI staff were brilliant too. Every single member of staff at Eureka had a smile on their face, greeted us with such respect and genuinely made us feel so welcome. There are so many learning opportunities there whilst still having so much fun the kids don't even realise they are learning. The toilets were clean with disabled toilet separate to the baby changing room and all easily accessible. The cafe offers a variety of food at reasonable prices. A really well thought out museum that's interesting, interactive, and engaging for a variety of displays for all age groups. The staff are a real credit to the company and I only wish that all places had such a high understanding of disability as those here. We will definitely be going back and If you have kids wether SEN or not try
