Connecting Parents of Children with SEN – Join Us for Tea and Conversation

Posted on: September 22, 2025

Parenting a child with Special Educational Needs (SEN) can be an incredible journey — full of joy, discovery, and, at times, unique challenges. But you don’t have to face those challenges alone.

That’s why Kinder Essex is inviting parents to join their monthly meetups at Rhea’s Bespoke Bakes. These relaxed gatherings are designed to bring parents together in a friendly, supportive space where everyone can share experiences, swap ideas, and connect with others who understand what life with SEN is really like.

The meetups take place on the first Wednesday of every month at 9:30 AM — perfect timing after the school run. Whether you’re looking for advice, emotional support, or simply a hot drink and a chat, you’ll find a warm welcome waiting for you.

“Parenting a child with SEN can sometimes feel isolating,” says organizer Kelly McKenzie. “Our goal is to create a safe, friendly space where parents can talk openly, support each other, and maybe even make new friends.”

Where: Rhea’s Bespoke Bakes – Canvey Island 
When: 9:30 AM
