19.01.2022 I've taken the kids away camping for a few days to unwind in nature, feast on marshmallows and to do exactly this! Like so many other things, children need to... practise risk taking. How else can they learn to judge risk; To learn which risks to take and which ones to leave well alone? We keep our kids safer by teaching them how to take risks; Not by protecting our children from these important learning opportunities... Dr Kaylene Henderson - Child Psychiatrist See more

03.01.2022 Our January Newsletter has been emailed out to families today. Please take the time to read through the newsletter to keep up to date with any changes in our service. If you have not received a copy and would like one, please let us know.

01.01.2022 Look at the differences between a typical younger child’s hand (left) and a typical older child's hand (right). I have parents asking regularly why their presch...ool aged child isn’t able to write yet. This is why! Their hands (and brains) are still developing and are not fully formed. So what should they be doing to support this? PLAY!! Playdough, colouring, cutting, gluing, playing outside, digging in dirt, sensory play, dress up play, science experiments, beading, puzzles, throwing balls, etc. All of these things help their hands develop. When they are physically ready to write, they will! No need to rush them, they will show you when they are ready! See more

01.01.2022 Families today we sent out a survey via email and we would love all families to complete it. It should only take a few minutes and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
