A peanut ball is one of the best sensory tools you can have. It is unique and offers vestibular input (movement) when controlled. It also can give deep pressure, proprioceptive feedback, helps calm the nervous system and increase core strength.

Josie and Holly seem to be having far too much fun mind... πŸ€”πŸ€­πŸ™ƒ

Tree Topper of the Month for the month of March 2026 πŸ‘‘

No matter how small, every little step counts. It could be the smallest of things such as learning to swim, ride a bicycle, fastening a button/zip or shoelaces, managed to do your homework, hop, skip, tidy up....anything but we want to know.

Each child entered will receive a certificate because every child is a winner in our eyes. The Tree Tops Team want to recognise all our children's achievements and boost their self-esteem. It is incredibly important to do so. If you want your child to remain anonymous, that is absolutely fine too, just let us know.

The winner will be crowned 'Tree Topper of the Month' and added to our special board in Reception.
Now get posting or messaging or email and we will be in touch! You'll be our very first 2026 winner 😁

PS Your child can remain anonymous if you wish 🀫

Our Story

Tree Tops has been developed with great foundations in the knowledge of assessment and treatment techniques of children and adults. Our therapists have extensive knowledge into conditions such as DCD, Dyspraxia, ADHD, Attachment Disorder, and Sensory Processing Difficulties. Post graduate training in Sensory Integration has allowed us to introduce this specialised treatment to children and adults on a daily basis to develop their underlying difficulties.

Tree Tops work with many schools, charities and voluntary organisations. We can provide valuable training and programmes which helps with gross/fine motor skills, handwriting, building self-esteem, confidence, behaviour and perception.

Fizzwig (our mascot) and the Tree Topper teddy bears are a vital part of our organisation and go on many adventures with the children or help them with their programmes. Check out our website to see what they all get up to!

We also have a private sensory parent support group which you are more than welcome to join. Here is the link:- https://www.facebook.com/groups/spdpsg/ . A youth group has also been set up which is run through a secret page. If you would like more information please email our office.
