Our Infant Screening Sessions is a supportive service designed to help parents and carers of babies (0–18 months) navigate their child’s early development with confidence. We feel strongly about supporting parents in the early years, giving them the reassurance and tools they need. 

If you know a parent who has concerns about their baby’s feeding, communication, play, or motor development, our screening sessions provide:

✅ A gentle and reassuring approach to developmental screening
Practical strategies tailored to each baby’s needs
Guidance on next steps, including helpful pathways for further support

Run by Nattalie Crews (Physiotherapist) and Jamie Williams (Speech Pathologist), these sessions offer expert insights and personalised advice in a family-centred setting.
