  • Hip screening clinics for children with Cerebral Palsy.

Jayne also worked on paediatric wards with babies and children and in nurseries, primary and secondary schools.

“I feel that every individual child is special and important. Many children experience difficulties with their development and sometimes their involvement with physical activities, which can cause concern to parents. No problem is too small and parents instincts should always be listened to”

At Sarum, your child will be greeted with a smiling face. An assessment tailored to their individual need and friendly professional advice given in a fun-filled environment.
