We’ve been enjoying lots of Spring activities in the Hub🌸. In this 1:1 session, a parent and child spent time creating these delightful Easter pictures together using stickers and paints. Peeling and placing the stickers took real care and focus, helping to build those fine motor skills. It’s that calm, simple time together that helps children grow and learn 💛🐥

The family Hub is looking really cosy today, full of sensory toys and gentle spaces to explore. Everything links back to the ‘Five to Thrive’ building blocks, talk, play, relax, engage and respond. Parents can come in and enjoy those everyday moments that support their baby’s brain to grow and develop💛✨

Our meeting room’s looking brighter today, with some colourful pieces residents have created. Our crafting activities create space to connect, to try something new, to build confidence bit by bit. There’s real care in all the details & it’s lovely seeing families take pride in what they’ve made & watching their ideas come to life 🎨🖌️🖼️

We’ve spent decades working with families, courts and local authorities to help create safer futures for children. We’re continually evolving while staying focused on what families really need. It’s that depth of experience that sets our residential family assessments apart and gives professionals real confidence in our commitment to providing thorough, high-quality assessments🏠 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 📄🔍 ✅

Residential family assessments should reflect real family life, not shared kitchens or corridor routines. Our families stay in fully self-contained flats, with their own kitchen, bathroom & living space, allowing them to live as they normally would. This leads to assessments that are accurate, realistic & fair, giving professionals confidence in the outcomes. Because the details really do matter.

Read the write-up on this post, it explains why early tummy time matters so much. '...because the brain doesn’t wait for age, it grows when it’s given the opportunity to move." https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTMjx--Di78/?igsh=MXJkZXhrYXNwcW53bA%3D%3D

We encourage parents to read to their babies from day one rather than waiting for a certain age. Even if it feels like they’re not listening or responding yet, their brains are taking it all in and they’re tuning into the sound and tone of your voice. It’s a lovely way to support bonding and attachment too 💛📖

Tummy time is such an important part of early development which we often chat about with families staying at Dudley Lodge. From the first few weeks, tummy time on a parent’s chest encourages babies to lift their head, and strengthens neck, chest and core muscles, then from around 4 to 6 weeks this can move onto the floor. This video shows how to do it in a simple, gentle way 👶💛 https://www.instagram.com/reels/DOxbteTEZVN/
