Busy Bodies is a great way to boost a childs confidence, and self esteem. My sessions can be adapted to suit the childrens needs. Please note that I am fully insured, and have enhanced DBS. I can provide my risk assessment. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Following the decommissioning of the Staffordshire County Council's Physical Disability Support Service. (PDSS) I decided to set up independently with effect from September 2017.

My essential role in physical difficulties support is still, however, very much required and valued by early years settings, schools, colleges and the young people and their families. 

I worked in the PDSS role from Horton Lodge Community Special School for eleven years and so have experience in all settings. I am passionate about the service I have been providing, and it is for this reason I decided to set up independently.

I have an office at  St. Edward's Church of England Academy, Westwood Road, Leek, Staffordshire, ST13 8DN. 

The aim of the service is to provide support to mainstream settings to enable inclusion of pupils with physical difficulties.

Please contact me for further information and prices.
