From nursery age to adulthood, Entire has a clear vision to support every child during their journey through school into adulthood. This is delivered through our affordable and fully inclusive holiday clubs, physical education lessons, wraparound childcare settings, alternative provision and providing exciting workplace opportunities for young adults.
Together, our team collaboratively works to ensure that our non-profit organisation is well-governed, financially sound, and effectively delivering on its mission. We are dedicated to making progress and achieving our goals. Get to know some of our team members below…
EYFS SEND Lead
SEND specialist
SEND specialist and Family liaison
Entire was born from a frustration that Matt and Sam shared while working in mainstream childcare provision. The frustration that they were unable to offer activities to ALL children. After mulling everything over they agreed that all families should have the same opportunities. They decided to make sure that they say YES to every child, bar none!
They then created what they thought was a fully inclusive company called ‘Inclusive Play Leaders’. However, having the word Inclusive in the title creates a barrier and becomes by definition non-inclusive.
And so, Entire was born!
Entire started off very small, with 7 children attending. Gradually over the last couple of years Entire has connected with more and more families and schools, enabling them to fully support over 170 families. It is a non-for-profit company, so everything goes back into the company to allow them to grow and support more families.
Entire believe that Every child has a spark, and Entire just helps them shine!
Entire Endorsement letter
I am writing to endorse Entire and S4A for their exceptional contributions to children’s sport and holiday club programmes, particularly for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Having collaborated with both organisations for a number of years at Furze Down School, I can confidently attest to the profound impact they have made in promoting inclusive, engaging, and supportive environments for all children, regardless of their abilities.
S4A has been instrumental in developing inclusive sport programmes that not only emphasise physical activity but also prioritise social skills, teamwork, and personal development. Their tailored approach ensures that children with SEND are not only able to participate but truly thrive in a structured environment where they feel understood and valued. This positive reinforcement is critical in building their self-esteem and fostering a lifelong love for sport.
Similarly, Entries’ commitment to providing holiday club opportunities for SEND children offers them invaluable experiences that go beyond traditional recreational activities. Their focus on creating a safe and inclusive space allows children to explore new interests, develop new friendships, and engage in enriching activities. The dedicated staff at Entire are trained to adapt programmes to meet the diverse needs of students, ensuring that every child can enjoy a fulfilling and memorable holiday experience.
Through our partnership with Entire and S4A, we have witnessed first-hand how their initiatives foster not only physical health but also emotional well-being and social interaction among children with SEND. They truly exemplify the spirit of inclusivity and empowerment, and their unwavering dedication ensures that all children, regardless of their circumstances, have access to quality sport and leisure activities.
I wholeheartedly endorse Entire and S4A for any recognition or support that can further their mission. They are not just service providers; they are changemakers, making a positive difference in the lives of children and their families.
