🌟 How Katy Can Help You 🌟

We're delighted to have Paediatric Physiotherapist Katy Docherty joining our sessions every six weeks. Next in session on Wed 10th June.

Katy's aim is to provide early advice, information, reassurance and signposting in a friendly, accessible way. You don't need to have concerns about your child's development, or for your child to have a health condition, to benefit from her knowledge and experience. She can support you with many of the everyday questions that come with parenting and child development.

💡 Some of the topics Katy can help with include:

🪑 Safe use of infant equipment – what to use, when to use it, and recommended limits for time spent in "containers" such as bouncers, swings and seats.

🧸 Tummy time – practical tips, what to expect, and different ways to make it enjoyable for you and your baby.

🚼 Supporting your child's physical development – from rolling, sitting and crawling through to standing and walking, with play ideas and activities tailored to each stage.

❓ Questions or concerns – a chance to chat about your child's movement, development or physical skills.

👶 Informal observation and practical assessment – in a relaxed, supportive environment if you would like professional guidance.

⏳ Waiting for an appointment? Katy can offer advice, support and signposting while you're on a waiting list.

💜 Katy is a fantastic source of knowledge, practical advice and reassurance for families. Whether you have a specific question or just want to learn more about your child's development, we encourage you to come along, say hello and make the most of the opportunity to chat with her as your little one grows and develops.

We're excited to celebrate Big Green Week by launching our Cloth Nappy Library!

👶 Full cloth nappy kits available to borrow
🧺 Easy-to-follow washing and care guidance
💚 Friendly peer supporters with plenty of lived experience and practical tips

If you've been thinking about trying cloth nappies but weren't sure where to start, come along to tomorrow's session and find out more, or send us a message anytime. We'd love to chat and help you find what works for your family.
