What We Do
Established in 1969 as a playgroup for children with disabilities, the Peter Pan Centre is unique to Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and Cheshire. No other local charity provides the specialist early years support that we do. We give children with special educational needs the best start in life—while supporting their whole family every step of the way.

The best decision I ever made was to send my son to Peter Pan. He has made so much progress since he started and the fact that they work alongside all the professionals involved in his care as well as us parents is fantastic.
If it wasn't for the Peter Pan Centre my son would not have had the chance to socialise with children his own age or left our side before starting school. We are happy that he is being cared for by people that understand him the way we do.
