What we do
We provide specialist respite care for babies and young children with complex and life-limiting medical needs. Our care is tailored so that every child and their families individual needs are met and are delivered with compassion, dignity and understanding.
Respite Care
Caring for a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition can be both incredibly rewarding, and physically and emotionally demanding. Many families provide round-the-clock care, including overnight feeds, medication, and attending frequent medical appointments, often with very little time to rest.
Rebound Therapy
Our new hospice will feature a specialised rebound therapy room allowing us to deliver therapeutic exercises and motion for our children. The gentle bouncing and rhythmic movement gently massages and can help open up airways and lungs easing congestion as well as relaxing stiff and painful muscles and joints.
Play
Our Play Specialist provides children with a wide range of engaging play opportunities and experiences that support their physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. Through arts and crafts, music, sensory and messy play, imaginative activities, social interaction and story time, every child is encouraged to learn, explore, express themselves and most importantly have fun.
Hydrotherapy
Our on-site hydrotherapy pool is a favourite for many of the babies and children who stay with us. The warm water and gentle bubbles are a calming, sensory-rich environment that helps relax muscles, ease discomfort and support movement, all while being great fun.
Days Out
We provide our children with opportunities to enjoy regular days out, affording them the same quality of life and experiences as other children their age, such as visits to the zoo or cinema helping them live life to the fullest and create joyful memories.
Sensory
Our custom built sensory room is a firm favourite at Little Lights Liverpool. Here, our children can relax to soothing sounds, interact with flashing and glowing lights, listen to music and simply relax. Our sensory room is designed to help all our children improve their language, communication, physical and motor skills.
Bereavement Suite
Our Snowdrop Suites offer a peaceful, private space where families can spend precious time together following the loss of their baby or child. The suites give families the time, privacy and compassionate support they need to say goodbye and create lasting memories together.
Therapies
Our dedicated clinical team makes sure every child’s visit is filled with meaningful, enjoyable experiences to support their individual needs and create special memories. Each visit is carefully tailored to what each child enjoys most to improve communication, motor skills and to feel good about themselves.
Soft Play
Our soft play area provides a physical environment where our children can safely experience movement, freedom and explore their surroundings. Soft play allows our children to practice balance and co-ordination, lower stress and anxiety and help build confidence.
