About Debbi's Doodles
Debbi Doodles is a safe space for students to create, have fun and relax. We specialise in creating individual plans for children with special educational needs but cater for all children who love creating.
There is never any pressure to complete a work of art but to experience the process and just to enjoy the experience.
Your child may benefit from sessions at Debbi Doodles if they lack confidence or self-esteem, they benefit from sensory experiences or they would like to learn a new skill.
Introduction
Sometimes it helps if you feel you have already met before.

News
What's going on at Doodles HQ?
The new term is almost upon us- where did those 6 weeks go! Our HAF funded holiday clubs have been going down a storm, If your child has enjoyed their holiday experience, please consider leaving a review either via google, our facebook page or just get in touch!
Before summer we did a series of sessions with North Tyne Youth- which were fabulous! We are also doing a couple of days at Bellingham Holiday club. If you would like us to attend your event, please get in touch!​
​
We have been very busy over the summer insuring our policies and procedures are up to scratch (boring but necessary!) and labelling all of our stocks to ensure we can find everything and keep everyone safe.
​
There has also been the very interesting change of status to being VAT registered. I am trying to view this as a positive change however, it does make me sad when I realise we need to include VAT in all our pricing now (booooo!) I am really sorry some things have had to go up but it is really out of my hands. On the plus side, we have lowered all of our club pricing (but have made them pay termly). I hope this is something that will work for your family, if it doesn't please contact me for a confidential chat.

Reviews....
February 4, 2022
We had the best time today at Debbi’s Doddles - a calm stimulating environment enjoying the experience of Art/Clay and lot’s of Sensory stimulation. Archie struggles with confidence, self esteem & doesn’t believe in his own abilities. There was no pressure in the session, Archie just enjoyed the experience. Archie said “this is so satisfying” whilst playing with the clay. The whole atmosphere was so calm & quiet with the sound of running water “listen to the birds Mam, it’s so cool here”. I can’t recommend Debbi highly enough - she was so friendly & gave Archie the reassurance he needed whilst creating some fab clay models. We are so looking forward to our next session.
