The 30 Best Child care services in Welling

“Stephie is an excellent educational psychologist with a great deal of experience in neuro disability. We have worked alongside Stephie with regards to several young people with CVI. Stephie is very approachable, warm and truly listens to families and their concerns with regards to their children. When carrying out assessments, she is sensitive and reassuring and does her utmost to accommodate the needs of the child. For many children with CVI, assessments can prove very triggering, many children are traumatised from previous experiences and also may be out of education. Stephie has a very good understanding of CVI and has worked with us extremely collaboratively. Stephie is at present a rarity, in that many psychologists have little experience of assessing or working with children with CVI and accommodating their needs. Most importantly she has a very caring personality and adopts a truly holistic approach. The CVI Society”

“My son began attending Butterflies in September 2021, and I can only share positive feedback about this nursery. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff deserve praise as they know how to connect with children and are highly creative. I appreciate that the children engage in different activities every day. As full-time parents, we value the communication and photos shared through the phone application, which allows us to track our son's progress and daily activities. Additionally, the nursery offers various ad-hoc booking sessions that make our lives easier. While these depend on availability, they are extremely beneficial, particularly the "early starter" option, which we frequently use. Lastly, the owner and manager, Danielle, is very helpful, approachable and finds time to speak to all parents. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to all parents—your kids will love it.”

“Fantastic dentist. Everyone is so pleasant and provide a brilliant service. Found this practice by chance online and managed to get top and bottom braces at a very reasonable price. 3 years later i was still welcomed back for a consultation on improving my teeth continuing treatment from years ago.”

“First class service/treatment from NEDC. I had a replacement crown fitted over a two week period. I had to change my original appointment date for the fitting and this was done easily. All the staff are very friendly and efficient.”

“Very nice lady on desk sue alway polite and caring only wasn’t happy with today was a bin that was full of used mask was over flowing and hanging out not very hygienic with the covid around”

“We have used the Children's Wellness Centre to have access to a private physio for our daughter. The booking process is easy with kind, helpful and smiley staff! The physio is fantastic and has provided us with lots of support in session and for things to continue with at home. We will definitely be visiting again. Thanks to all involved in the centre!”

“By the end of my daughters sessions with Stani, she was so much more confident to tackle issues she had previously struggled with. She also grew in confidence in herself which was truly wonderful to see. I cannot recommend Stani enough, she has such a lovely nature and my daughter always looked forward to every session. Thank you Stani!”

“went there for 4 months and they asked many questions and helped me through it , brilliant team of people !”

“Una provides strong support, gently and without judgement. This, coupled with her deep understanding of parenting and of children, has helped me to unravel my thoughts and emotions, from which I have gained clarity and understanding that has helped me to parent with more ease and prescence.”

“We saw Dr Crespi with our daughter and were so impressed by his incredible knowledge and gentle approach. He was so easy to talk to and really considered all of the symptoms we were worried about. We travelled some distance to see him and it was totally worth it. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“"We've been extremely happy with twisty tail nursery. The staff are caring, attentive, and engaging. The facilities are clean and well-maintained.

“I was really happy with the ADHD assessment provided. It felt very thorough, with actual proper observation of my daughter in school, speaking to a teacher and then another 2 hour observation and conversation in clinic. Not just form and questionnaire filling, and it gave me an additional layer of confidence that what I was seeing was also being seen and recognised by others. Furthermore Holly was kind enough to expedite a report in order to meet a tribunal deadline which we are very grateful for. Would strongly recommend.”

“My wife gives birth to our princess at this hospital. Good staff and knowledges doctors”

“My child was assessed by Dr Bharat and diagnosed with asd. He was kind and compassionate under such emotional times. The whole process has taken 2yrs and 11 months. Overall a positive experience despite lockdown waiting times and other unforseen circumstances. Now we will be prepared for the future! I would like to show my gratitude. Thank you team cdc.”

“My son attended the Child Development Centre after we had exhausted all other avenues through the NHS and essentially got nowhere. I am not disparaging the NHS, I think they are marvellous but they do not have the time or resources to fully help our children the way they need help in these circumstances. We had the Centre recommended to us and it has really changed our lives. The relief that someone was finally making sense of our son's behaviour and difficulties that he was having was immense. He would jump and scream at unexpected noises, he would hate any labels in clothes, he would zoom around the house causing mayhem (not deliberately, quite the opposite he was very happy), but we did fear he had ADHD. He was like Tigger from Winnie the Poo, bouncing around everywhere! His concentration was very poor, he was very silly and immature for his age, he wasn't able to sit and watch a DVD, read a book or play with one toy or game for any period of time, he would get bored very easily and be off to play with another toy or game. From a very young age he would have obsessions - firstly the Fire Service and he would not anywhere unless in a full fireman's uniform with a utility belt, he was 4 yrs old at this stage and then it changed to the Police (5yrs old) and then the Army (8yrs old) with each obsession taking over all of our lives in one way or another. One fact we did find interesting was that Dyspraxia often gets misdiagnosed as ADHD. He was diagnosed as having Dyspraxia traits and audio dyslexia. We received a very detailed report which made so much sense in terms of why he was behaving the way he was, but more importantly we started the programme that would definitely change all of our lives for the better. The programme is not a quick fix solution. You need to be dedicated and understand there will be times when it is frustrating and it seems you are making no progress then other times when it accelerate and the changes are amazing. Most people comment that he is like a different boy now and he really is. Once we were able to get rid of the reflexes he had retained the changes became really noticeable. He is so much calmer now, he can concentrate - he reads so many books now which we are delighted at! The screaming when he's startled has stopped and he's even more tolerant to labels! In the beginning we did the on-line checklist on the website and ticked far too many! However, I would highly recommend doing this as it give you a really good idea on whether there is a problem there that needs solving. My husband and I had the conversation about the cost of the treatment and I remember him saying 'this could be the best money we've ever spent' and he was absolutely right, it was. I would highly recommend going for an initial assessment to find out all about it. We originally met David and then Alex continued all of the appointments and treatments with our son. He is excellent with children, very professional with a firm but easy-going manner. If you decide to do it, follow all of the instructions, they really do know what they are talking about and you will get better results by following them to the letter. The programmes are medication free which I loved, this is a totally natural way to help your child be the best they can be!”

“Great nursery. Staff is really friendly. Our daughter love it!”

“A massive thank you to all the brilliant staff who have helped in my sons learning development and achievements. A special thank you to Nosh the owner of the nursery who has shown dedication and commitment in setting a good standard of practice in the overall welfare, safeguarding and the warmth of the children in nursery. The rooms are planned out well and kept clean given the space available. Resources are plenty and children are always kept engaged and stimulated. I am so pleased with my choice of nursery for my sons first learning journey.”

“Clean and quiet facilities. Welcoming members of staff. Easy to contact them over the phone, unlike most NHS services nowadays. Quick to get back to you, when needed.”
