SENDHELP Care is the UK’s first SEND childcare directory, on a mission to end the social exclusion of disabled children and their families. Birthed in Southwark, South London, we offer a streamlined online search tool for SEND parents to find registered childcare providers who may be able to meet the additional needs of their child.
We do what we think local councils should do for SEND families, but often don’t. We give parents an additional lifeline. We review all the OFSTED registered childminders (and nurseries) in one borough and create a filterable list which allows families to sift through 100’s of options in minutes. No more calling endless childminders and feeling rejected, no more wondering about whether anyone can “manage” with your babies needs, and no feeling like there is no help or childcare available. For some parents, childcare for even 2 days a week is the difference between a happy home and a mental breakdown.
Our searchable directory makes it simple for families to find Ofsted-registered childminders who welcome SEND children.
We provide resources, FAQs, and support so parents feel confident choosing the right childcare.
Childminders and nannies gain visibility while joining a supportive SEND-focused community.
Every step we take reduces isolation and helps SEND children access play, friendship, and early learning.
We provide Ofsted-registered, trusted childcare with personalized attention, inclusive practices, and a safe environment. Our experienced childminders ensure every child’s growth through play, learning, and compassionate support—so families have true peace of mind.
a whopping 94% of boroughs don’t have adequate SEND childcare, leaving special needs families isolated and in desperate need of help. If you are a SEND friendly childcare provider, let families know below – it won’t take more than 5 minutes
