Our Services
At Rainbow Hands Respite & Childcare Services, we provide flexible, personalised support for children and young people aged 0–17 years with SEND, disabilities, complex needs and additional support requirements.
Every child is unique, which is why all support is tailored to the individual child and their family's needs.

Respite and Short Breaks(no overnight service)
Caring for a child with additional needs can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding.
Our respite service provides families with the opportunity to take a break, attend appointments, spend time with siblings, work, or simply recharge knowing their child is being supported by someone who understands their needs.
Respite can be provided on a regular basis or as occasional support depending on your family's circumstances.
