Our Services
At Rainbow Hands, we believe every child deserves care that celebrates who they are.
Our support is flexible, inclusive, and tailored to each child’s unique strengths, challenges, and personality. We work with children with a range of needs — including Autism, Global Developmental Delay, Down syndrome, brain injury, physical disabilities, and complex medical or sensory profiles.
Whether your family needs time to rest, help with daily routines, or consistent specialist care, we offer a calm, nurturing environment that focuses on safety, connection, and emotional wellbeing.
🌟 Respite Care and Short Breaks
Families deserve time to rest and recharge. Our respite sessions provide safe, reliable care for children in a warm, engaging environment where they can relax, play, and grow. Each session is personalised around your child’s medical, physical, and emotional needs — ensuring comfort, inclusion, and trust.
🧩 Specialist Childcare and Support (full childminding services pending)
We provide care for children with a wide range of additional needs — including Autism, Down syndrome, brain injury, developmental delay, and complex health or mobility needs. Our approach combines structure and flexibility, using sensory tools, communication strategies, and adaptive equipment so every child can take part fully and safely.
💛 Emotional and Behavioural Support
We understand that behaviour is communication. Using patience, empathy, and play-based approaches, we help children express emotions safely and learn self-regulation skills. Each strategy is adapted to the child’s individual communication style, helping them build confidence and resilience in a supportive, understanding space.
🧠 Learning and Development Support
Every child learns in their own way. We follow the EYFS framework but adapt it to each child’s abilities and pace, using hands-on play, sensory exploration, and communication-rich experiences. Whether developing motor skills, social understanding, or independence, we celebrate progress in every form.
🚗 Community Access and Outings
We support children to access their community safely and confidently — from quiet park visits to sensory-friendly activities and inclusive local events. Outings are carefully planned and risk-assessed, with familiar routines and one-to-one support where needed, so every child can experience joy, adventure, and connection beyond the home.
🤝 Family Collaboration and Advocacy
We see families as partners in care. By working closely with parents, carers, and professionals, we ensure a consistent approach that meets each child’s holistic needs. We also support families with advocacy — from attending meetings to helping navigate SEND and health systems — always with compassion and practical guidance.
