Let us reframe your child’s
future, today
Based in Bath, Now, Next & Then helps local children and young people with additional challenges so they are empowered 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 help those who can’t be in school at the moment too.
We totally understand how you may feel if your child or young person seems to be struggling, whether this is physically, emotionally, socially or with sensory needs, and we know just how much these things can impact school and home life. The challenge you’ve noticed might be quite subtle, or on and off, or there all the time. Or it might be that your child has a known difficulty that you and they need help to navigate. 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.

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 also have the time and resources to be able to come alongside your child or young person and you to bring about positive changes.
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.
