In the quiet area of Gee Cross, young people can feel relaxed and at home in our Games Design room.
Located on the 1st floor of Aqua Nurture, with access to a cafe downstairs and plenty of parking. A secure and quiet location which can be easily accessed for our students.
Like all EOB venues, young people’s anxiety is always at the forefront of our minds. Every part of our learning space has been designed with this at the heart of what we do; we want our students to walk into the room feeling relaxed, to be supported by experienced and caring staff to give our students the best experience. It’s not just about the qualifications, we want our students to find themselves, thrive and become more confident individuals.
Easily accessible by public transport, helping students build independence. We’ll be honest… the area is quiet and it is the opposite of a bustling town centre however for students who have permission to go off-site, we recommend to bring a pack-lunch, stretch their legs and grab some air during break-times. It is super chilled.
The atmosphere at our venue is one of calm, respect, and inclusivity. We provide an environment where every student feels valued, understood, and comfortable. Our space is relaxed, with friendly staff and a community that fosters positive connections.
By giving our students a space where they feel safe and supported, we enable them to learn and achieve their full potential.
We’re committed to providing a place where our students can thrive, knowing they are in an environment where their well-being is the priority and their needs are respected.
Supporting greater independence through practical life skills, nurturing friendships with like-minded young people, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity so that our students can be themselves and know they’re not alone, in turn helping alleviate anxiety while progressing through well-crafted skills based courses.
For schools & MATs
Students can leave at lunch (with consent) or bring a packed lunch where they can eat at workstations, or head out to the benches at the front of the building in nicer weather.
For parents & carers
We’re incredibly proud of one of our older students who recently made an important step toward independence. Due to their neurodivergent needs and high anxiety, they’ve always needed a close family member with them when going out. But last week, with support from one of our team members, they walked through town to buy a Mother’s Day card for their mum. After this success, they felt confident enough to go out with three other students to pick up lunch from McDonald’s (without our team member).
While it may seem like a small step to some, for this student, it represents a major achievement in gaining independence. We’re so pleased to see the progress they’re making, and it’s a reminder of the positive strides they continue to take. We couldn’t be more thrilled to witness this young person’s growth and newfound sense of independence.

The tools I used at EOB were advanced – way more professional than I thought it would be – which has been great to get into the world of games design.
