MOVE combines therapy and education in a programme which helps children work towards goals that they really want to achieve, which can range from learning to hold their head up by themselves to learning the skills needed to play football with their friends using a pacer. MOVE is unique in that no child is too disabled to use it and works with the child’s parents, teachers and therapists to teach them skills which are then practised in everyday life, enabling parents to be involved in key decision making and instrumental in their child’s development.

Visit our website or call us on 020 7407 5344 to find out more information, speak to a specialist or a parent of a child already on the programme or to visit a school using MOVE.

Tatty Bumpkin classes and clothing were born out of a love of yoga and a love of fun. Loosely based on yoga postures, classes are suitable for all children, including those with special needs - Baby Bumpkin (0-2) and Tatty Bumpkin (2-7). Each class encourages your child to explore their physicality, increase their confidence and engage their minds, whilst not being competitive. The Tatty Bumpkin Bendy Doll is used to help children form each pose. The baby classes have more pastoral care and massage included.

Starting with the warm-up song "Bendy, Giggly, Clever and Strong" classes use adapted yoga poses to introduce the concept of "learning through movement" before the magical adventure begins - an amazing place where we'll meet animals, fly like helicopters, be sausage rolls and much more!

The range of clothing is suitable for children aged 0-7 years which are either ethical (fair trade), carbon neutral or simply organic or bamboo as well as class associated toys, mats, dolls.

The latest addition to the range – the LogiMen are a range of humanoid robots that have strong magnetic feet and their own sensors and stories to tell from the futuristic world of LogiCity. Designed for 5+ they can link in with classic Logiblocs parts including the versatile LogiRobot which was a Gold Award winner (Science & Nature Category) in the Good Toy Guide based on reviews by children. This can be used as a remote control unit or be controlled by Logibloc sensors themselves automatically.

The colour-coded Logiblocs contain electronics that define their function and plug together to create an amazing interactive array of electronic circuits. Kids build all sorts of inventions - burglar alarms for bedrooms, flashing and bleeping space stations, scanners, zappers - all complete with sounds, flashing lights, buttons to press and automatic sequences. Kids become mesmerized by discovery, technology and learning fun! These kits can be combined with each other and the new LogiMen to create even larger projects.
