Service
Care for Children with Additional Needs
At-home care that gives children and parents room to breathe.
About this service
Caring for a child with complex or additional needs is a full-time role for the whole family. Our service offers practical, joyful support at home — and a much-needed break for parents and siblings.
We support children with a wide range of needs including autism, learning disabilities, complex medical conditions and physical disabilities. Care plans are built collaboratively with parents, therapists and (where appropriate) the child themselves.
Sessions blend personal care with play, communication-building and the small daily routines that make family life feel manageable. We also offer longer breaks — overnight or weekend respite — so parents can rest and reconnect with siblings.
