A calm, personal admissions process — not a form.
Places are limited and every family is considered individually. From first WhatsApp message to start date usually takes 2–4 weeks.
Six steps to a place at Winta's Place.
- 01
Contact through WhatsApp
One message starts the conversation. We reply personally, usually the same day, and set up a time to talk properly.
- 02
Parent discussion
A relaxed conversation about your child, your family, what you've tried, what's working and what isn't. No forms, no jargon — just listening.
- 03
Review of your child's needs
We review any assessments, reports, therapy notes and school history you can share — and add our own holistic review of your child's profile.
- 04
Child observation or trial
Your child comes in for a trial — meeting the team, meeting the space, spending time in a real school day at their own pace.
- 05
Suitability decision, together
We're honest about fit. If Winta's Place is right, we say so. If it isn't, we say that too — and help you think about what might be.
- 06

Written offer, start date, ILP kick-off with the team, and a warm welcome into the community.
