Vicki always responds to emails and commented on the photos that we sent in – we really appreciated this, it felt like a real partnership.

This is at a time when we were informed that we were having a reduced service from the Health Visitor and were also closed to Speech and Language, all due to the pandemic. LSEY were there for my son when no-one else was”.
