About our cause

Children’s Opportunity Group (C.O.G) is a local Charity based in Bolton that offers integrated play, teaching and therapy sessions for pre-school to foundation stage children with learning and physical disabilities and children at risk from abuse and neglect. Our initial aim is to provide a stepping stone between home, playgroup, nursery and school. C.O.G has input from speech and language therapists, Physiotherapists, Health Visitors, Social Workers and Educational Psychologists.

C.O.G is registered with Ofsted and has various Inclusive Play sessions per week for up to 60 children Monday to Friday, C.O.G also offers the Mother and Baby Tweenies Sessions for 6 weeks-2 ? year old babies and a Multi-Sensory/ Light Stimulation room for children with profound and multiple disabilities with limited movement.

The Blue Room Nursery Unit is for up to 4 pre-school children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). These children have difficulties with everyday social interaction, communication and imaginative play. Many of whom have accompanying disabilities. These children work to a structured programme of activities using pictorial timetables. They join the inclusive play sessions for some of these activities.

C.O.G also manages The Nurture Group which is a specialist unit which offers places to children that are having difficulties accessing the foundation stage at school due to learning and/or behavioural disability and are at risk from harm. The Nurture group allows children to learn early social skills supported by the curriculum. For children with a disability and cannot access transport C.O.G provides an essential mini-bus service.
