Starlight Grove – Helping Children Shine Their Brightest!

Learning Disability Support

For children aged 8 - 17 years with learning disabilities, we offer structured, consistent routines and clear communication approaches that reduce anxiety and support progress. We use individually tailored strategies to develop social skills, self‑care, and learning, always adapting to each child’s level of understanding and preferred way of communicating.

Mental Health Support

We support children experiencing mental health difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, self‑esteem issues, or the impact of trauma. We provide a calm, predictable environment, emotionally available adults, and support plans that may include therapeutic input from external professionals. Our aim is to help each young person feel understood, build coping strategies, and re‑engage with education and daily life.

Sensory Impairment Support

Starlight Grove is experienced in supporting children aged 8 - 17 years with sensory impairments, including hearing or vision loss and sensory processing differences. We adapt environments, communication, and activities to reduce stress and enable full participation. Our staff work with families and specialist teams to ensure that each young person’s sensory needs are understood and respected.

Physical Disability Support

We provide practical and emotional support for children aged 8 - 17 years with physical disabilities, focusing on independence, inclusion, and participation in everyday life. Our team works alongside health professionals and families to implement care plans, ensure safe mobility and personal care, and promote access to education, hobbies, and community activities.

Behavioural Challenges

We work with children who present with emotional or behavioural challenges, including aggression, withdrawal, risk‑taking, or school refusal. Using positive behaviour support, consistent boundaries, and relationship‑based practice, we help young people understand their feelings, learn safer ways to express themselves, and build more positive relationships with peers and adults.
