About Us
We’re a dedicated team of SEN specialists, advocates, and parents—and some of us are neurodivergent ourselves. With lived experience as siblings, caregivers, and professionals, we understand first-hand the challenges of sourcing high-quality SEN childcare, training, and support. That’s why we’ve built SENNIES: to offer expert, compassionate solutions that truly make a difference.

Your SEN Childcare Solution
Juggling life and a career is a challenge. When a member of your family has Special Educational Needs, life can become more challenging to manage family activities. Let us help you find the right Sennie for your families' unique needs.
We match Sennies with the right family by having a personalised and thorough recruitment process - saving you time, money and sparing frustration.
We pride ourselves on fully understanding the needs and requirements of all of our families. In addition, we review each Sennie to challenge their specific skill set and understand how we can best support them in finding the right family for them to shine. This allows us to be the perfect matchmakers.
