During the financial year, Wildflower Meadows Provision CIC continued to provide a small, relational wellbeing provision for children and young people who are finding it difficult to access mainstream education due to anxiety, emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), neurodivergence, sensory overwhelm, and other barriers to participation in traditional school environments. The organisation offers a part-time, supportive environment where children can reconnect with others, build confidence and develop emotional regulation skills. The provision focuses on wellbeing, relationship building and engagement through low-demand activities such as creative play, art, nature-based activities, cooking, crafts and collaborative games. Children typically attend for short, part-time sessions as part of a wider support package arranged by families, schools or local authorities. The provision does not operate as a school and does not deliver statutory education. Responsibility for formal education remains with the child’s school or local authority. During the year the provision supported approximately 35 children and young people from the local community. Many of these children experience significant anxiety around school attendance, are neurodivergent, or require a calmer environment in order to feel safe and regulated. The activities provided by Wildflower Meadows aim to: Reduce isolation experienced by children who are struggling to access mainstream education Support emotional wellbeing and regulation Provide opportunities for positive peer connection Build confidence and a sense of belonging Offer a safe and supportive environment where children can engage at their own pace In addition to the direct provision for children, Wildflower Meadows has also begun delivering a community support project funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. This project provides workshops and information sessions for parents and carers, focusing on topics such as supporting young people experiencing anxiety, understanding emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), and developing practical strategies to support children’s wellbeing. These workshops aim to increase understanding, reduce isolation among families, and help parents feel more confident in supporting their children during periods of difficulty with school engagement. The provision also provides reassurance and support to families who may otherwise feel isolated when their child is unable to attend school. By creating a calm and accepting environment, Wildflower Meadows helps children rebuild trust, confidence and engagement with the wider world. Through these activities the company contributes to the wellbeing of children and families in the local community and helps support vulnerable young people who may otherwise struggle to access appropriate support.

The company’s key stakeholders include the children and young people attending the provision, their parents and carers, and commissioning organisations such as schools and local authorities who arrange placements for children as part of wider support packages. Wildflower Meadows seeks regular feedback from families to ensure that the provision remains responsive to the needs of the children and community it supports. Formal feedback is gathered from parents and carers every half term through online feedback forms. In addition, the organisation maintains ongoing informal communication with families, allowing parents and carers to share their experiences and observations about how their children are engaging with the provision. Feedback received during the reporting period has been consistently positive, with parents reporting that their children feel safe, accepted and more confident attending the provision. Families have highlighted the value of the calm, relational environment and the opportunity for children to build connections with peers in a supportive setting. Feedback and conversations with families have also helped shape the development of additional community support. In response to parents sharing the challenges they face supporting children experiencing anxiety and emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), the organisation began developing and delivering parent workshops focused on these topics. This work has been supported through funding from The National Lottery Community Fund and aims to provide families with greater understanding, practical strategies and a sense of community support. Wildflower Meadows continues to review feedback from families and commissioners to ensure the provision remains responsive to the needs of the children and young people it supports.
