Toilet Training
Behaviour
Family Life Adjustments (new sibling/ moving house etc)

Setting up Nursery and equiptment

There are a number of ways in which you can receive support from NEST:

Video Call
Telephone Call
Email Support
Home Visits (dependant on client location)

When we make an appointment with you for your consultation, it is preferred that your child is not present (unless otherwise agreed). We feel that if you are seeking advice on something you are struggling with regarding your child, it is best for your little one not to hear this, as this can cause anxiety and have a negative impact on your situation.

If you feel that our consultation would be more beneficial with grandparents or other carers involved, then please do mention this to us on enquiry. We feel strongly that it is important to do what works for you as a family. We are also able to liaise with Early Years Settings with your consent.

Due to the nature of the bespoke service that NEST offers, please do get in contact with us to discuss the service most appropriate to your needs.

If you do have any further questions or want to get in touch, please complete the 'Contact Us' form or press our email address below to be directed to compose an email.

Once you have got in contact, we can then work out together what the right support is for you and your family and what the cost will be for this. The cost for NEST's services will depend on the type of support you would like. Prices start from £65 for an hour's consultation with a detailed written summary sent across via email

Please do get in touch so that we can discuss this together.
