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.

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!

Do you want to give your child a love of reading? The innovative Tidy Books Children’s Bookcase displays the front covers of books, putting books in easy reach. Children love to browse through books well before they can read, and this award winning bookcase helps develop a love of reading from an early age.

At Tidy Books, we put great design at the heart of our products - they have to look great and be supremely practical too. The Tidy Books' story began in 2004 with the Tidy Books Children’s Bookcase, designed by a mum for her daughter, in her violin workshop. Traditional bookcases make no sense for children. She designed a bookcase that was easy for a child to use independently, and fundamentally changed the way that books are presented to children in the home. Since then, other designs; the Bunk Bed Buddy, The Tidy Books Box, and the ForgetMeNot have joined the family; all original concepts designed to encourage independence in children, look stylish and finished in an eco-friendly water lacquer.

Join Tidy Books on Facebook for bookish fun, competitions and great book recommendations.
