Contact for Pricing"As a mother of a child with ASD, I have first-hand experience of the challenges, strengths, and individuality of children with additional needs. This personal journey has given me a deep understanding of the importance of compassionate, patient, and person-centred care. My motivation to open a care company comes from a desire to provide high-quality, supportive services that truly understand families’ lived experiences, promote dignity and independence, and ensure every child and individual is valued, respected, and supported to reach their full potential."
Built on Understanding, Compassion, and Lived Experience
As a mum of a child with ASD, our founder has firsthand insight into the daily realities, challenges, and strengths of individuals with additional needs and their families. This personal journey has shaped our values and inspired the creation of a care service that truly puts people first.
We believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and empathy. Our approach is person-centred, recognising that no two people are the same and that care should be tailored to each individual’s unique needs, abilities, and aspirations. We are committed to providing safe, supportive, and inclusive care that promotes independence, confidence, and quality of life.
"Our mission is to work in partnership with Doncaster Council Short Breaks team to deliver care for families just like ours."
