As a parent, you want to help your child develop and grow as much as possible. Using fun activities at home...

Our unique combination of aquatic and land-based therapies help children with a wide range of neurological and developmental disorders, including Cerebral Palsy, dystrophies and rare syndromes, reach their full potential.
We understand every child has individual requirements. We spend time getting to know your unique needs and challenges to create a tailor-made treatment plan, which extends beyond your intensive therapy weeks.
We’ll work closely with you to inspire and empower your child to push past their limits and reach his or her goals, no matter how big or small.
Our children see massive progress during their time with us, developing or improving cognitive, physical and motor functions so they can enjoy more freedom and independence, boosting their confidence and self-esteem; but it doesn’t stop there. We engage your child with fun therapy activities which you can continue at home, using the resources we’ve given you for even more growth.

You’ll be asked to fill in a more detailed form and send imagery to demonstrate your child’s current abilities. This helps us schedule you with the therapist who’ll be the best fit for your child’s needs. They’ll be your main point of contact, both before and during your week.
We’ll contact you again 8 weeks before you arrive, so we have the most up-to-date information, and time to research. This allows us to create the best treatment plan for your child’s needs, goals and unique challenges. We’ll cover everything from daily routines to any existing therapy or treatment programmes and additional support requirements.
You’ll receive the schedule one to two weeks before we begin, with three 50-minute sessions a day, two in the pool and one land-based, starting on Sunday and ending on Friday. The sessions are one-to-one and run between 8 am and 6 pm, allowing everyone to have the time they need in each area. If your child has a medical or feeding timetable, we’ll work around that.
We’ll get to know you, your goals as a parent, your child’s goals and what he or she really likes. For example, if they like Peppa Pig we have equipment and toys with characters to help make the therapy fun. No goal is too big or too small, whether they want to tie their own shoe laces or be able to dance, we can use their goals to inspire them throughout the sessions.
We educate you throughout the week so you feel confident to continue supporting your child’s growth when you return home. You’ll leave us equipped with knowledge, resources and a programme of playful therapy activities you can easily integrate into everyday life, making therapy fun, not stressful.
The support doesn’t end when your week does. Contact us if you have questions or to share your wins – we love to celebrate with you! We see massive improvements during our therapy weeks, but for continual progress, we encourage you to visit again. We’re here to support you for the long haul, and it can take time to reach your big goals, but together we can get there.
