Children's Care
Support for children with additional needs, delivered by carers who truly understand and care.
If your child needs extra care, you want people around them who get it—who really understand what they need and how to support them. That’s where we come in.
At Retons Care, we provide dedicated one-to-one support from care workers who are experienced, kind, and genuinely invested in your child’s wellbeing. We build strong relationships with families, schools, and professionals to make sure every part of your child’s care feels consistent and calm.
We also work alongside specialist schools and services to offer support during the day, at home, or wherever it’s needed. Whether it’s help with personal care, communication support, or simply being there to keep routines on track—we’ll shape our care around your child and your family.
Children's care and support tailored to you
At Retons Care, we understand that no two children are the same. That’s why we take time to get to know your child – how they communicate, what they enjoy, and what’s important to them.
Our carers aren’t just trained – they’re experienced in supporting a wide range of needs, including autism, physical disabilities, and challenging behaviour. We match each family with the right care professional, based not only on skill, but also on personality and shared interests.
It’s care that gives you peace of mind – and helps your child thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered with Care
01What types of children’s care do you offer?
We provide flexible, personalised care for children with a wide range of needs — from learning disabilities and autism to physical health conditions and sensory impairments. Whether support is needed at home, in school, or in the community, we work with families to build care around their child’s routines, strengths and preferences.
02Can you help children with complex needs or behavioural challenges?
Yes. Our carers are experienced in working with children who have more complex or high-level needs, including those on the autism spectrum, children with physical disabilities, or those who display behaviours that challenge. We take time to understand what works for your child and support them in a calm, consistent and compassionate way.
03What does a typical care package include?
Every child is different, so no two packages are the same. Support can range from help getting ready for school, attending medical appointments, social outings or building daily routines — all the way through to full live-in care. We can also assist with personal care, meal prep, learning through play and communication strategies, depending on your needs.
04How do you match carers with children?
We take the time to get to know your child — their personality, preferences and needs — before introducing a carer. From there, we aim to match you with someone whose skills and temperament are the right fit. Many of our families build long-lasting, trusting relationships with their carers, and we always welcome your input.
05Can you support children at school or in the community?
Yes. Our carers can provide one-to-one support in school settings or during activities outside the home. Whether it’s help attending a specialist school, joining a club, or going on a day out, we ensure your child is safe, engaged and included.
06Do you support short-term or one-off care?
We do. Whether you need emergency cover, holiday respite or temporary help during a family illness, we can step in quickly. There’s no minimum time commitment — we’re here to help for as long or as short a time as you need.
07How do I get started with children’s care?
It starts with a conversation. Our team will take the time to understand your family’s situation and talk you through the options available. From there, we’ll build a personalised plan and match you with the right carer. We can also work alongside schools, healthcare professionals and social services to ensure continuity of care.
