Sensitive Santa Sessions
Sensitive Santa is offered to families of children with Special needs. This session is designed for children with sensory issues. The environment is calm, quiet and relaxed. During your session we will try and take 2 different backdrops (however it will depend on the children, on the day). Some children with special needs walk in and immediately get excited and love Santa, whereas others may be overwhelmed. We take the time to help make your children as comfortable as possible, and also can take photos with Santa before the children even realise, he is there.
Sensitive Santa sessions offer a little more time (approx. 15 minutes per session). If you have any special requests, we will do our best to accommodate what ever is needed to help make the session, easier and enjoyable.
The Hideaway is a personal experience for each family, and 95% of the time we can take children with special needs in an ordinary individual family session, (please just write in the notes when making an individual family session booking that you have a child or children with special needs, and what their diagnosis is).
Important Note
Due to the limited spaces, please be respectful and ONLY book a sensitive Santa session if your child can not cope with overstimulation. Otherwise, please book a general session as these are suitable for all children. Our sensitive Santa sessions should only be booked for children who require a settled environment.

I have been working all day and as I was about to log off I realised there are so many emails that need to be sent manually. I'm so sorry, I cannot do this until I have some staff help. So if money has been taken from your account and you have not received an email confirmation it doesn't mean you are not booked in. It means you will receive your confirmation in a few days. Please also check your spam and junk folders. There are still alot of emails and inboxEs I haven't had the chance to look at, and I'm sorry I will not be looking at these until Wednesday. I really need to rest tomorrow. Also please don't
Hello again, I'm so sorry to make this post and I would love to help you all out, however I just don't have the resources. Anyone that has booked multiple sessions please advertise them on this post (another post will be coming shortly). There will be no refunds or credits for those of you who have made multiple bookings. Once you have gotten rid of your additional bookings we will need the persons name, email, phone number and children's names and ages (sort out the deposits between your selves) If you do not manage to pass on any additional spots please tell us so we can open them up for others.
