‘Childhood Matters has brought so much positivity and hope to our family after previous unsuccessful provisions and tutors following a very difficult time of autistic burnout for our son. They are the first provider to genuinely build a connection of trust with our son at his pace, showing us that the right adult can help him feel safe enough to engage, grow and gradually reach amazing progress. Our son has made huge steps forward including leaving home with his tutor and enjoying spending time with another adult who isn’t family. We feel incredibly privileged to have found someone that our son is excited to spend time with every single week and who has the high level skills and experience to recognise any difficulties and co-regulate effectively and quickly when required. We are so grateful you have brought so much fun back into our son’s week. Thank you Childhood Matters!‘

‘Of all the discussions around child-focussed education, never have I seen such a beautiful, purposeful and extreme example of this. I was left inspired and utterly thought provoked. I came away feeling like I had witnessed something very special. Indeed, I think you are a unique and most excellent leader.’
