Who we support

 

The Willows Child Development, is a therapeutic alternative provision dedicated to empowering children and young people facing challenges in traditional classroom settings. Our mission is to create a supportive environment where each child can thrive and unlock their full potential.

At The Willows, we understand that every child is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet their individual needs. Our team of dedicated professionals is trained in various therapeutic methods, providing a safe and nurturing space for children aged 5-16.

We specialise in supporting:

​

• Children who have experienced school-based trauma or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)

• Children in need of assistance with their social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH)

• Children with diagnosed or undiagnosed special educational needs (SEN)

• Children grappling with mental health issues

• Children experiencing emotionally based school avoidance

• Children receiving education other than at school (EOTAS)

• Children currently attending specialist school settings

• Home-educated children

• Children seeking a temporary reprieve from the traditional classroom environment

​

Our commitment extends to understanding and meeting the diverse needs of every child referred to us. Over the years, we have successfully supported hundreds of children and young people who encounter difficulties in conventional educational settings. Join us at The Willows Child Development, where we believe in fostering growth, building confidence, and creating a path to success for every child we serve.
