About us

We celebrate the children we work with, no matter their ability, to show parents and the wider world everything they can do. We help children under 5 with Cerebral Palsy and other motor learning impairments make the best possible start in life – and give families the support and skills to continue their development at home.

Children with Cerebral Palsy struggle to learn fundamental skills – they do not have the typical early experiences of their peers because of their disabilities; often excluded from everyday activities in their communities and unable to attend mainstream nursery provision, limiting their opportunities for socialisation and integration. They are at risk of isolation and early intervention is crucial.

We provide an early intervention service based on the methodology of Conductive Education (task based learning). Parents and children work together in a supportive environment. We focus on improving a child’s physical, social and emotional skills. Sessions are hand-on structured and one-to-one or small group. No formal diagnosis or referral is needed to access our services.

All of our services are offered to families FREE OF CHARGE.

We receive NO FUNDING support from the Government or Local Authorities.
