The Spectrum Set Up

Usually we would visit each accommodation to take note of any details our families may need to know. During the Coronavirus pandemic this was not possible as government restrictions prohibited travel. We have carried out a great deal of research on the local area as well as the properties and park itself. We have spoken to the owner, Louise and asked the questions we feel our families would want to know. If you have any questions that have not been covered here, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to speak to the caravan owners on your behalf. We will be visiting the caravans and the park in March 2023 when the new season starts. Find out more about what equipment will be available and how we prepare all our properties for your stay here. (Please note that Flamingo Land Caravans are not part of our Sensory Caravan range. Our Spectrum Pack of sensory toys and resources will be available for you to use during your stay)

We have visited each of the holiday homes personally and have put together a social story for each one. Just let us know how we can best support you in your holiday preparation and we will create personalised visual countdown calendar or timetable for you!

Inside the holiday homes you will find a set of visuals to help support you
while on holiday, there is also a “now, next, later” travel keyring to take out
and about with you as well as some information about the local area.

We work closely with all of our holiday home owners so there will always be someone available to help should you have any problems during your holiday.
