Do you dream of a holiday in the sun where:
* every member of your
family is welcomed and there are no stares and no embarrassment?
* the environment is safe and you have been made aware of any dangers?
* you have someone to turn to if there’s a problem?
* you know your requests will
be taken seriously, no matter how unusual they might be?
If the answer to any of the above questions is "yes" then
happykidsholidays is for you.

The Owner.
I was a teacher in UK from 1994 until I moved to Dordogne, France in 2006. I worked in mainstream and special primary and secondary schools, for the National Autistic Society, and for Sheffield LEA Autism service. Many of the families I worked with never had a holiday, but they all had a huge need for a break.Once I became lucky enough to live in such a beautiful place, I decided to try and enable people to have the holidays they deserved, so I talked to some people who agreed with me and happykidsholidays was born.
