Carly had the most amazing time exploring everything Longleat has to offer.
Its amazing to see how inclusive and accessible the day was, with Carly able to enjoy so many attractions and experiences. One of the highlights for her was the wheelchair swing - she absolutely loved it ๐Ÿฉต
From getting up close and feeding the animals to having lots of fun in the splash park. It gets a 10/10 from Carly ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿซงโœจ Pure joy in a bubble! โœจ๐Ÿซง

As part of Alexโ€™s birthday celebrations, he was treated to a little sneak peek of our bubble show ahead of the Fun Day โ€” and itโ€™s safe to say he absolutely loved it! ๐Ÿ˜

From the very first bubble to the very last, Alex was full of smiles, excitement and happiness. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿซง And, of course, there was still time to enjoy some birthday cake too! ๐ŸŽ‚

These are the moments that make it all worthwhile. ๐Ÿ’š

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰ Happy Birthday, Alex! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽˆ

Today we're celebrating our wonderful Alex! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ’™

Alex loves all things sensory โ€“ whether it's bouncing, twirling colourful ribbons, watching bubbles float by, or simply relaxing with his iPad. It's the little things that bring the biggest smiles, and seeing Alex enjoying the things he loves always brightens our day.

We hope your birthday is filled with lots of fun, laughter, your favourite sensory activities, and, of course, plenty of bubbles! ๐Ÿซงโœจ

From everyone at First Thought Care Services, we hope you have the most amazing day celebrating you! ๐Ÿ’œ
