Our Story
Hi, I am Jayne, Founder and Owner of Calm Little Minds.
Calm Little Minds was born in September 2018. Having worked for 16 years in the public sector with children, young people and their families, roles included Pre-School, Nurseries, Primary schools, Children Centres, CAMHS and School Nursing. Throughout this time of not only learning and gaining experience, i was also noticing the changes to the system and the ever growing waiting lists. From this i could see the negative impact on the services which were sadly over subscribed. The children were not getting the support quick enough and families were left in crisis. I felt that i needed to do something to help change this and to help our families who were in need of support.
Early Intervention is key and we pride ourselves on being able to have contact with you within a week. Time and time again i would meet a family and their story would be similar to many others, in the fact that they had been waiting for weeks, sometimes months and by the time a worker was allocated the work that needed doing was much more than the 6 week sessions allowed for.
Calm Little Minds aims to meet with you within the week, or where this is not possible, then as soon as they can, with a minimal waiting time. We come to you, this reduces the disruption to your working day and for children’s education, which is barely disrupted as we see them in school for up to an hour and then they can go back to class. We also provide after school appointments which take place in your home, although as you can imagine these are very popular and booked up fast. We will of course do our best to work at a time and place that works for you as a family.
