I understand that every child is individual with different strengths and different ways of learning, By recognising and understanding each child and what it is that they love and how best they learn, I can provide them with the best experiences that help them to reach their full potential in all developmental areas. I love doing it.

Adele

Adele* came to Windermere when she was eight months pregnant together with her three other children and her mother. She was in a state of deep distress. Although she had separated from her partner, Corey*, due to ongoing violence and had taken out an intervention order, he still managed to track the family down, break into their house and threatened to kill them repeatedly.

Katie

Katie is a mother of two young children who suffers from severe post natal depression, mental health issues and desperate feelings of isolation.

Richard & Joshua

Richard's 9 year old son Joshua has severe cerebal palsy and his wife passed away unexpectedly leaving Richard to be Joshua's sole carer. Richard ran his own truck driving business and despite help from family and friends, his respite care options became too scarce, Richard was simply unable to work.
