EXCELLENT Based on 14 reviews Posted on Bing2026-01-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Clare for an independent Speech and Language Therapy assessment as part of an EHCP appeal for our son, who is non-verbal and has complex communication needs. The report was exceptionally clear, thorough, and thoughtfully written. It accurately reflected our son’s communication profile, sensory needs, and the level of support required. Importantly, it felt truly grounded in an understanding of autism and non-verbal communication, rather than relying on standardised assumptions. The assessment process was professional, sensitive, and respectful, and the final report was very helpful in clearly evidencing need within an EHCP context. We would highly recommend Clare to families seeking an independent SaLT assessment, particularly where clarity, accuracy, and a genuine understanding of complex needs are essential. Mrs. B. McManusPosted on Anne Herbert (Annie)2026-01-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare was instructed to provide an independent speech and language assessment and report as a part of our EHCP tribunal. As soon as she was in touch everything moved quickly, she was friendly, open and easy to communicate with via email and over the phone. It’s always a concern about how professionals will engage with my child with SEND, but Clare was very easy going and quickly built rapport with them during the assessment, putting any anxiety we had at ease. The report she has provided is detailed, relevant and quantifiable. I finally feel like my child’s communication needs have been seen. I’d highly recommend Clare and her service.Posted on Naela Aloysious2026-01-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare completed an independent Speech and Language Therapy assessment and report for a SEN Tribunal, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The process was clear, extremely well-organised, and the turnaround time was excellent given the depth and quality of the work produced. Clare’s communication was exceptional throughout. She kept me fully informed at every stage, explained her role and the tribunal process clearly, and took the time to ensure I fully understood the assessment findings and recommendations. The report itself was of an exceptionally high standard. It was clear and easy to understand while also being robust, detailed, and strongly evidenced for tribunal purposes. Clare clearly identified my son’s speech and language needs and provided practical, needs-led recommendations with clear next steps that significantly strengthened our ability to advocate for him. Overall, working with Clare was an incredibly positive and reassuring experience during what can be a very stressful time. She is a highly skilled, professional, and compassionate Speech and Language Therapist, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family seeking outstanding, independent SALT input for a SEN Tribunal.Posted on TINA DAVIES2026-01-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Claire was very trusting after so many failed assessments with the LA. Claire treated us with dignity and respect and was able to produce a really easy to read report within 24 hours. She is highly experienced with SEN children and I would recommend Claire to anyone and everybody!

CARING CLAIRE Just wanted to express my love and appreciation to Claire for her outstanding performance.as a SUPERB & SUPERIOR SALT. It’s been a challenging time for my daughter and I whilst awaiting SEN tribunal for a residential boarding placement. My case was a legal aid case and Claire’s quote was the best value for money. Claire listened to Saffrons needs and she felt seen and heard by Claire. The report was clear, concise and professional. Claire’s communication with me (a pushy parent) was swift and high effective. I received my report within 7 days which was excellent. All in all an EXCEPTIONAL service and I can’t recommend enough. So don’t delay book in today, you will be delighted with the EXCEPTIONAL EXCELLENCE you receive.

It has been a pleasure to work with Clare, who in my experience is knowledgeable, skilled, thorough and supportive, both with clients and colleagues” Dr Richard Melling (Educational Psychologist)Posted on Karen Finch2025-09-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service - would definitely recommend (and have several times to my own clients). I used Clare to do an assessment on my daughter as we were needing an SALT assessment to help get support for an ASD / ADHD referral. Clare was responsive, professional and really friendly. She put my daughter's anxiety at ease instantly getting the best from her. From initial enquiry to report being received was less than two weeks. Fantastic - thank you Clare :)Posted on Robyn2025-09-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare was great and made my child feel comfortable whist having his assessment I felt all his strengths and weaknesses were captured well and in turn his targets and suggested therapy was outlined to support his needs at school. We were booked in for our assessment all parent and school questionnaires were filled out and the turn around for his report after assessment was great. The communication along the process was easy so would highly recommend. My son is finally getting the support he needs.Posted on Fabiola Co2025-09-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family had a positive experience working with Clare Holland. Clare has shown professionalism and empathy at all times, making reasonable adjustments and keeping us well-informed of the process through clear communication. The report was easy to understand and the interventions/next steps very helpful. The Local Authority awarded in full Clare's recommendations. In addition, I contacted Clare one year later during a Case Review, shared a change of circumstances and asked her to put in writing her professional advice. She responded promptly, and sent us the updated document with her views. This was essential for the LA to increase the hours to cater for my child's needs the following year. I am very pleased with Clare's commitment to the children and young people she works with.Posted on Jules Oakley2025-09-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare was absolutely lovely. So thorough and professional but very warm too. I loved the fact that she has actual personal experience with children with additional needs as well as professional. My little boy has severe anxiety and took to her really well. I was so happy with her work I had her do a second assessment for another one of my children. Highly recommend!
