We provide a professional Outreach family support service for pre-school children and their parents/carers.

The Playbus visits different rural villages each week for 2 hourly sessions during term time. Parents and carers are welcomed aboard with their children to have fun and activities include various crafts, singing and storytime. The bus carries information regarding a range of related services and maximises the impact of visits by working with other agencies who require rural community access.

The Outreach Van visits parents with children under 5 years of age living in isolated rural areas. It also provides Health Visitor clinics, information, individual consultations between parents/carers and workers and a small play area for the children. Other agency services are able to access the van according to need.

C.L.O.W.N.S. is based at the West Somerset Sports and Leisure Centre, Minehead.
