***Introducing the School readiness group!***
Here at Butterflies Holistic Occupational Therapy, we are offering a specialist group programme (one of a kind in the UK!) to help your little ones get ready for the transition to school.
Transitioning from nursery to school is a big change, with new expectations and environments to navigate. Research has shown that increased parent and child confidence regarding a child’s transition can lead to a more successful school transition, which in turn leads to improved academic outcomes.
This groups aims to promote development of the skills required for school transitions and to build your child’s confidence in the following areas:
-Independent toileting skills
-Dressing independently
-Using a knife and fork
-Emotional regulation and body awareness
This group is 6×60 minutes sessions for children transitioning to a mainstream school in the upcoming academic year, and who are able to cope with group situations. Group sizes will contain a maximum of 6 children and will be facilitated by 2 occupational therapists.
Costs: £90 per child per 6 week block

Mindfulmeschool is a place to share and discuss…when things aren’t working.
A space to think, develop self-awareness, move forward and make better decisions.
Mindfulness is noticing the self ….learning about the brain and training it to work in a way that meets your needs and allows you to evolve.
I work with children, adults and progressive businesses…all looking to find new ways of being to feel happier and in control.
My adult work extends to training the brain to think differently when it comes to dealing with difficulty/managing life changing issues/losing a job/navigating an emotional problem etc.
