We were all once children discovering our ever expanding worlds, right from our very first breath.

We were all once children discovering our ever expanding worlds, right from our very first breath.

Even as adults we are learning from experience, adapting and working things out as we go.

There is something incredible about seeing a child learn something new for the first time, whether it’s taking their first steps, writing their name or completing their first ever sports day. Learning never really ends, but the ‘first times’ slowly become daily experiences and proficient skills, allowing each child to develop into an adult, living their most independent and full life. We aim to provide you with further skills and ideas, to support your child’s development, wellbeing and participation with their daily activities.

We take your child on a joyful journey through learning and development

We take your child on a joyful journey through learning and development ✺

We are here for you too.

Supporting children both as parents and as teaching staff in school isn’t always easy. Having support from professionals is an important part not just for the child but for you too. When each day counts, waiting for the support you need isn’t always practical. We aim to bridge the gap between local services and private by providing an affordable and accessible service to children’s occupational therapy advice and support. Our service is designed to be accessible for parents and teaching staff of primary school age children who require advice, activities and strategies to support their child’s development.
