Based in Bath, Now, Next & Then helps local children and young people with additional challenges, empowering them to reach their potential in everyday life.
We don’t see problems, we see barriers to be overcome.
Our team of health and family specialists is dedicated to helping your child or young person at any stage of their educational journey, from nursery all the way to college or uni, and beyond. We’re also here to help those who can’t be in school at the moment too.
We totally understand how overwhelming it can feel if your child or young person seems to be struggling, whether this is physically, emotionally, socially or with sensory needs. We also know just how much these things can impact school and home life. Whether the challenge you’ve noticed seems quite subtle, on and off, or there all the time, or if your child has a known difficulty that you and they need help to navigate, then we are here to help. We always say that you are your child’s expert, so if you have a concern or worry, then we’re here to listen.
Our goal is to help children and young people overcome barriers, no matter how great or small, so they can experience success every day.

Meet our team
Our specialists work collaboratively as a whole team or stand-alone if only one of us is needed.
We have the skills to help with the unpicking of your child or young person’s challenges, the professional knowledge to explain them and the problem-solving know how or what to do about them.

We always bring bucketloads of playfulness to make sure our appointments are fun, as well as compassion to celebrate your child’s strengths and successes, and yours too.
