Charlotte, Charlie and Millie speak to Beth and Marion from Rockit’s Play Centre about inclusivity, SEN, and how Nannies can best support the children in their care.
Rockit’s is an award-winning play centre founded by Beth, a mum whose son is Autistic. With Marion’s unwavering support, Beth created a safe, inclusive space for children with additional needs — and a welcoming community for parents, carers, and Nannies.
Beth speaks honestly about the barriers she faced when seeking help: being passed from school to GP to NHS with little support, and how many families must turn to charities and community-led initiatives for guidance. She also shares why inclusive play spaces are so vital.
Marion brings her wealth of knowledge and passion, offering practical advice on how Nannies can adapt their own provision to meet individual needs — and how to make playdates inclusive for every child.
This episode is eye-opening, encouraging, and a reminder that while the system may fall short, supportive communities and shared knowledge can make all the difference.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
