Parent & Baby Awards 2026 | 5 Best Advanced Neonatal Care Centre 2026 – Nigeria & Preterm Infant Medicine Excellence Award 2026 Babies born at less than 28 weeks in Nigeria have a high mortality rate, as they require advanced neonatal care that is difficult to come by in a resource-limited environment such as this. Babies Matter Medical Centre looks after premature and extremely premature babies at its neonatal unit in Lagos, and it has sent home many babies born at 25, 26, and 27 weeks. Dr Zainabu Mudasiru was on hand for more about the incredible work she and her team are doing. Managing the health and progress of babies born prematurely or those who are very sick, the work that Babies Matter Medical Centre does is seeing increased survival rates across children in Nigeria, giving parents the best gift of all in the form of a baby who is happy and healthy after arriving a little earlier than expected. A lot of the babies treated at Babies Matter Medical Centre are born via IVF, and that is why there are a high number of ‘multiple babies’ at the centre, as twins and triplets are more common following IVF and are more likely to be born prematurely. Their parents have often sought IVF treatment out after many years of trying to have children, and that makes the lifesaving work Dr Mudasiru and her team do all the more special. “We are seeing more and more multiple births”, Dr Mudasiru said, “and this is because IVF and surrogacy have taken off in Nigeria. More centres have opened up and offer good results with pregnancy numbers. So, many times when we are called to receive a baby, it tends to be more than one. We have had to adapt by having more staff attend these deliveries and enough equipment to manage all babies from the point of delivery (when we take over their care) until we transport them safely back to our unit.” Since opening its doors in November 2023, Babies Matter Medical Centre has kept the highest standards at all times across its care, and never once has any element of its service or treatment slipped. In fact, it is improving year on year, with new methods and equipment introduced into its five-star neonatal care, the impact of which continues to be felt. Dr Mudasiru (clinical lead/co-founder), her co-founder Dr Efunbo Dosekun and Senior Consultant Dr Onah are the people behind this, and their fingerprints can be seen all over Babies Matter Medical Centre, from its team to the culture. Having worked on neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in South Africa and the UK, Dr Mudasiru knows how demanding any role in this environment is, and how best to help her team thrive. Personally picking all of her staff by hand, Dr Mudasiru looks for certain qualities as she builds her team, and anyone welcomed into the fold must be committed, hardworking, able to cope in stressful situations, and have the ability to solve problems, whether on their own or as part of a team. Empathy and communication are also key, as the parents the team are working with are in the midst of what is an incredibly emotional period in their lives. With every team member also aligned with the values of excellent care, compassion, respect, and partnership, Babies Matter Medical Centre enjoys an internal culture built on the guiding principle of love – love for each other, love for the work, and love for every baby who they treats at the centre. The innovative, impactful work that Babies Matter Medical Centre is doing across Nigeria, which is still classed as a developing country, is set to continue indefinitely, and Dr Mudasiru has some exciting plans for how the care provided under her watchful eye can be even better. First, she explained, is the goal to increase the capacity of centre itself, allowing more babies with prematurity and extreme prematurity to access the crucial care only Nigeria’s best neonatal hospital can provide. Then there is the plan to establish a fund to help families who struggle to pay their bills. “An NICU anywhere in the world is expensive”, Dr Mudasiru added, Babies Matter Medical Centre “and sometimes families tend to struggle financially, especially in a resource-limited setting such as ours.” These initiatives reaffirm the commitment that Babies Matter Medical Centre has to providing advanced neonatal care and preterm infant medicine to as many premature and ill babies as it can across Lagos and beyond. As a result of this dedication, we are honoured to recognise the centre with two titles in our Parent and Baby Awards 2026.

6 | LUXlife Magazine The idea for FRIGG grew from a personal experience. When founder Annette Tøth Jensen became a mother, she found it difficult to find a pacifier that met her expectations for both safety and quality. Rather than accepting what was already available, she decided to create a new alternative. Keeping every stage of development and production in Denmark gives FRIGG complete control of the entire process, from the first design sketches to the finished product. The close connection between design, development, and manufacturing allows the team to continuously refine products and develop new ideas while upholding the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define every FRIGG pacifier. This is what makes FRIGG the only pacifier brand that is both designed and produced entirely in Denmark. Design has always been an important part of FRIGG. Inspired by Scandinavian design traditions, Nordic nature, and storytelling, every collection has its own distinctive identity while remaining unmistakably FRIGG. Whether inspired by the delicate petals of Daisy, the symbolism of Moon Phase, the transformation of Butterfly, or the strength and connection represented by Rope, every design is created to combine aesthetics with functionality. Innovation continues to play an important role in the brand's development. In August 2026, FRIGG will unveil the latest addition to its pacifier range, reflecting the brand's ambition to explore new possibilities in material development while maintaining the quality, safety, and Danish craftsmanship for which it is known. Safety remains the foundation of every FRIGG pacifier. Across the collection, FRIGG combines thoughtful product development, extensive quality testing, carefully selected materials, and Danish manufacturing to ensure consistently high standards. Most FRIGG collections feature the patented Click-Lock® System, developed to ensure a secure and consistent assembly while reducing stress on the materials during production. Together, these elements reflect FRIGG's commitment to creating products parents can trust. That commitment was further recognised in 2026, when FRIGG achieved the highest score in independent consumer tests published by leading consumer organisations in both Denmark and Sweden. The laboratory tests evaluated strength, safety, durability, and chemical content, with particular emphasis on substances such as BPA. Receiving the highest overall score in both countries reinforced FRIGG's reputation for combining thoughtful design with uncompromising safety and quality. Today, FRIGG is distributed through an international network of distributors and retailers. While the brand continues to grow globally, its philosophy remains unchanged. Every new collection builds on the same belief that even the smallest products deserve careful attention to design, quality, innovation, and craftsmanship. Receiving the titles Most Trusted Pacifier Brand 2026 and Infant Comfort Innovation Award 2026 recognises the journey FRIGG has been on since its launch and reinforces the brand's commitment to combining Danish design, continuous innovation, and uncompromising quality for families around the world.

Parent & Baby Awards 2026 | 7 mum of two boys and a black labrador, Gemma Davies is certainly no stranger to the challenges parents face when it comes to sleep, and she founded The Mindful Sleep Coach as a way of educating and supporting families to make the right decisions based on them and their needs. Gemma is not here to tell parents what is right and wrong, but her belief that something is only a problem if the family thinks that it’s a problem means she is there when sleep isn’t working as they want it to. Under the banner of The Mindful Sleep Coach, Gemma works with families and their children from birth to four years old. Her services as an infant sleep coach see Gemma support these families across a whole range of baby, toddler, and preschooler sleep concerns, from napping and self-settling to wake windows, early wakes, night wakes, the cot-tobed transition, stopping cosleeping, reducing bedtime battles, and more. Every plan Gemma creates for parents and caregivers is bespoke and based on their specific goals and concerns, both for their children and for their Nothing can ever really prepare you for having a child, and whilst the experience is endlessly rewarding, one of the most challenging aspects for parents is navigating the sleep challenges common in the early years. There are countless parents exhausted before the day begins, struggling to manage their child’s nap routines, or going through other concerns with their sleep, and this is where Gemma Davies, The Mindful Sleep Coach, comes in. We caught up with Gemma for more on her work guiding parents through the changes to help their little ones sleep better. Most Trusted International Paediatric Sleep Consultant 2026 (UK): Gemma Davies & Responsive Sleep Support Excellence Award 2026 – UK themselves. This stems from Gemma knowing first-hand how much the mental health of parents can be impacted by sleep, as she had bad anxiety around sleep with her eldest son, who was born just as the world was plunged into lockdown in early 2020. My ethos is that it’s only a problem if it’s a problem for you. The mental health of parents is so important to me and I want sleep to feel manageable and realistic to parents, rather than creating anxiety as it did for me when my eldest was born.” Using her own experiences to create solutions that support both parent and child, Gemma offers her services across a number of bespoke packages, which see support provided through home visits around London, and its surrounding areas, or via online channels like Zoom and WhatsApp. Parents find being able to send Gemma a WhatsApp message as they are implementing the steps of their plan crucial, thanks to the guidance they receive and the reassurance this brings. As a result, Gemma’s Early Years Deluxe Baby package is her most popular, with this comprising a 60-minute Zoom call, a bespoke plan with an age-appropriate routine and coaching, and 14 days of WhatsApp support, before everything is wrapped up with a 25-minute checkout call. This package is perfect for those with children from three months to two years old looking for guidance across a variety of sleep challenges. Across this and all of the other packages and support she provides, setting Gemma apart is the fact that she looks at sleep holistically, assessing all of the aspects that can impact a baby or toddler’s sleep. Examples include temperament, comfort levels (allergies, reflux, body tensions), and, as these little ones get older, a toddler’s emotional needs. This offers a lot more than the one-size-fits-all, self-settling approach favoured by many paediatric coaches and baby sleep consultants, and having a plan in place that is built especially for them and based on the unique needs of their child and family means that results can last a lot longer, restoring some calm to the busy lives of parents. Outside of her programmes as The Mindful Sleep Coach, Gemma can be found on the expert team for Four Mamas, which provides antenatal and postnatal classes, and she has also been a guest on podcasts including Postnatal Minds and Raising Kids with Love and Boundaries. Gemma also partners with lots of great companies to share her expert knowledge, including Mums Who Build, Baby Talk, and Amae. Additionally, Gemma’s wisdom can be found in many corners of the online world, including an honourable mention by Sheerluxe, ultimately offering a lifeline for parents around the globe. Gemma’s expertise is the crucial ingredient in the success of The Mindful Sleep Coach, which continues to receive glowing praise from parents whose lives have been changed for the better as a result of its outstanding baby/toddler sleep support programmes.

8 | LUXlife Magazine he story of BabyEase began with Kelly-Ann and Samuel DaveyWard, the proud parents of twin girls. When embarking on their first adventure with their three-month-old twins, the pair were presented with an unanticipated challenge: hotel cots. One was old and unstable, whilst the other was dirty. They spent two nights stressed, exhausted, and emerged determined that there had to be a better way for families to travel. BabyEase was born from this determination in 2022. Catering to families visiting the Cotswolds, the company rents clean, high-quality, and reliable baby equipment that clients know they can trust. This service encompasses full-size cots, bouncers, highchairs, and all-terrain pushchairs, as well as cabin-sized pushchairs such as the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 and Yoyo3 for families across the UK who are travelling away. Now, Kelly-Ann and Samuel are parents to twin four-year-olds and one six-week-old, and leverage their unique understanding to better serve a market they also occupy. “As parents to three young girls, we completely understand our clients and can recommend products we have used for our own holidays,” Kelly-Ann explained. “We would never rent anything out that we wouldn’t use with our own children, both in terms of cleanliness and quality.” BabyEase partners with some of the most trusted names in the world of baby gear, including Babyzen, Joolz, Bugaboo, and more. Selecting brands that are known for their innovative designs, exceptional comfort, and unmatched safety standards, the company offers clients a premium Best Baby Equipment Rental Service 2026 – South West England Regardless of location, no family holiday can be truly relaxing when tasked with carting around cumbersome baby gear or using the inadequate equipment supplied by hotels. As a parent-run business, BabyEase understands the challenges of travelling with children, and has set out to meet this pain point head-on with high-quality, clean baby gear rentals that save peace of mind for parents and the planet. We spoke with Founder Kelly-Ann Davey-Ward below, as BabyEase is named in the Parent and Baby Awards 2026. selection of meticulously chosen, top-tier products that provide comfort for their child and peace of mind when travelling. This year, BabyEase has played an instrumental role in facilitating seamless holidays for countless families, including many clients renting Osprey Poco Child Carriers when hiking over the spring and summer. The team has also seen a significant number of families visiting Disney for the holidays, with children who typically no longer need a pushchair at home but will require one for those long, hot days. Benefiting families and the planet alike, BabyEase empowers these parents with the tools they need to go on family adventures without the unnecessary expense and waste of purchasing equipment for short-term use. By sharing these resources, BabyEase reduces overproduction and minimises the environmental footprint of the baby gear sector, whilst helping clients save money and space in their home. Having entirely reshaped the way families travel with their little ones, BabyEase has built a substantial base of loyal clients, who return to the company time and time again for its services. The team has earned a stellar five-star rating on Google, reinforcing BabyEase’s position as South West England’s Best Baby Equipment Rental Service 2026. One client reported: “We rented the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 from BabyEase for our recent trip to South Africa. The whole renting process was so easy, and the communication from Kelly-Ann and Sam was great. The pushchair was in great condition and, to be honest, you’d think it was brand new! I could not recommend them enough!” While another shared: “Can’t recommend BabyEase enough. We hired a Babyzen Yo-Yo for a week in Greece and it was invaluable. Kelly-Ann was so responsive, organising delivery for us at short notice and providing excellent advice. The buggy was immaculate and so much better than the cheap travel strollers that we have used before. This experience has opened our eyes to the option of hiring high-end equipment rather than purchasing unnecessarily. We will definitely be using BabyEase again, a wonderful, environmentally ethical local business.” Contact: Kelly-Ann Davey-Ward Company: BabyEase Web Address: www.babyease.co.uk Phone: +44 7888 635013 Email: [email protected] T
Parent & Baby Awards 2026 | 9 Best Baby Tracking App 2026 & Most Innovative Breastfeeding Tracking App 2026 ParentLove does not claim to be the first baby tracking app, but it feels like the first one to have got it right. Timings of feeds, nappy changes, and sleep are brought together in shared dashboard through its app, which has more than 100K downloads across the Google Play Store and the App Store, keeping every parent and caregiver in sync at any time of day. Anthony Ramirez, proud dad and co-founder of the ParentLove App, told us more following its recognition in our Parent and Baby Awards 2026. The transition into parenthood can range from smooth to anything but, and this is something Donatella and Anthony know first-hand. Their journey was not what they hoped, and issues with breastfeeding, colic, a lack of support, and Anthony having to go back to work meant that the process of managing routines was demanding and often overwhelming. It was clear that the couple needed a system to keep track of their daughter’s needs, one that would help them stay connected (and sane) when they were taking turns looking after her. Pen and paper did not work, and all of the baby tracker apps they found had at least one fatal flaw that made them unusable. So, out of options, the couple decided to make their own. Created as the baby tracking app they wished had existed, ParentLove is simple, quick and intuitive to use, yet practical and easy to personalise. Its husband-and-wife founders remain directly involved, so user feedback informs product decisions. Anthony, a software developer, codes the app, while Donatella combines experience as a mother of two with expertise as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and Newborn Care Specialist Educator. Together, they turn real-world newborn-care needs into practical features for families. Essentially, ParentLove gives parents an easy way to track and share their baby’s important activities. It covers everything from daily events like feeds and naps to more specific things like baby care and health, with every activity being individually designed to be both useful and functional for parents, whether they are using the app at 3AM or 3PM. All of the entries made into the app are shared in real time, meaning that everyone who cares for the baby is perfectly in sync with what is going on. And, because there are times when one parent may be taking some well-deserved rest for a while, unique features like ParentLove’s sharable sleep timers allow the first parent to start a session and the other to stop it. It is this kind of useful, parent-led thinking that makes this baby tracking app special. The reminders ParentLove gives to its users are not just specific to activities like breastfeeding and sleep, they are also highly customisable, sharable, and even provide interactive visuals to help parents understand their baby’s growth. A ‘milk bank’ feature also helps mothers who are pumping their milk to keep tabs on their frozen stash. Covering so many bases across the app without sacrificing on its simplicity is something Donatella and Anthony are both incredibly proud of. Anthony told us: “On the surface, ParentLove is simple and easy to use. What makes it different is that each family can make it their own, shaping the app around their routine and the details, features, and insights that matter most.” Customisation is aided further through options to support multiple children, custom background images, and much more, making the app feel like a true companion. As for what the future holds for ParentLove, Anthony explained: “The most helpful tools are the ones available in the moment parents need them. ParentLove is responding with widgets that make key baby-care information and common tracking actions available without opening the full app, alongside thoughtful device integrations and continued expansion of activity tracking, insights, reporting, and practical learning resources.” This follows a major overhaul of the app, which included a complete redesign and the addition of new features to help parents track and understand their baby’s sleep behaviour better, and Anthony is now turning his attention to introducing the latest technology into this baby-feeding tracker. This, he promises, will make the app run more smoothly and allow new features to be added ever quicker, guided by user feedback. With this migration expected to be completed this summer, and several highly requested new features to follow by the end of the year, there has never been a better time for parents to install ParentLove. More on this multi-awardwinning baby tracker adored by thousands of parents from all over the world can be found at the website below.

10 | LUXlife Magazine Most Trusted Baby Monitor Brand 2026 – Australasia & Parent-Led Product Design Excellence Award 2026 – Australasia Finding a baby monitor with tailored specifications and ultra-high-quality components is not easy, especially in the crowded modern market where we can easily become overwhelmed with options. This is where Tweetycam comes in, as the company effortlessly delivers its range of best-in-class products to support us and our loved ones when we need it most. We spoke to Karen Mitault, Founder and Creative Director, as the company was recently awarded in the Parent and Baby Awards for the second consecutive year. Founded in 2023, Tweetycam is an Australianowned brand making a huge positive impact on parents, carers, and growing families with its pioneering monitors made to the highest standards. As a former UI-designer, using her rich experience in the field, Karen took on the mammoth task of reengineering what we knew of baby monitors so that she, and others, could more easily navigate parenthood. From looking after pets to supporting tenants, attending full-time work, and progressing her side businesses, Karen’s approach to reinventing what is possible had to take a busy routine into account. Her aim with Tweetycam was always to help people in balancing their own busy lifestyles with their loved ones at the core, while ensuring quality would never be compromised. Therefore, with expert reinforcement from husband Brett and brother Sylvain, Karen set foot on a path that has ultimately shaped the market as we know it today. The true beauty of Tweetycam’s products comes from its team’s dedication to creating the perfect environment for parents to feel they have peace of mind. Tweetycam is aware that parents have grown tired of “smart” products, where every piece of technology relies on a WiFi connection, and has developed its products in response to this. Ensuring that its offerings can be used without apps, firmware updates, security breaches, and more hassle, Tweetycam’s products are supported by features such as plugand-play, no app, no WiFi, and the all-important encrypted local signal usage. Tweetycam continues to monitor the market to align its product offerings with the needs of parents across Australia and New Zealand. By staying ahead of industry trends and customer needs, the business keeps its position as a leading baby monitor company that allows simple setups, unrivalled UX features, and the feeling of togetherness of families who use these innovative products. Karen told us: “Parents trust other parents more than they trust brands. Our job is to keep earning that trust one interaction at a time, so the recommendation keeps happening without us asking for it.” Keeping parents at the core of every stage of its operations, while keeping the broader market in its peripheral vision, Tweetycam guarantees pioneering products with outstanding customer service every step of the way. Its close-knit team offers customers straightforward answers and utmost care right from the very beginning, even before purchase, and through to any level of aftercare that may be required. Ultimately, no matter how large the business becomes, Tweetycam is committed to delivering the same high-quality products to its customers. The Tweetycam team is an Australian baby monitor brand that parents trust, and its non-compromising stance on quality will continue to generate positive experiences for its customers throughout the years to come. Recently, Tweetycam has been proud to receive such high praise and recognition online. From a single TikTok thread, created and contributed to by parents who trust the company’s products, mentioning Tweetycam 92 times to the fact that it holds the highest verified review volume and rating in the baby monitor category on ProductReview.com.au, Tweetycam’s efforts are not going unnoticed. Speaking of the next three years, Karen explained that the business is soon to expand from Australia and New Zealand to the rest of the world. With expansion to the UK, Canada, and the US, Tweetycam has a strategic plan for establishing itself as a standout option for parents in each of these markets. Its next generation of Tweetycam products are well underway, with its baby car monitor system already on the market for purchase, and the team continues to focus on refining the accessories currently available. With the PowerPack and Floor Stand getting an update, in line with real feedback from parents who use them, Tweetycam is laser-focused on streamlining its current products through its customer intelligence loop. Awarded for the second consecutive year, previously winning the title of Most Trusted Baby Monitor Brand in Australia alongside receiving its Customer Service Excellence Award last year, Tweetycam stays on our radar through its devotion to empowering and supporting its customers, its significant contribution to the evolving technology of baby monitors, and the upcoming expansion of its reach across the world. We’re excited to see what comes next for Tweetycam and its global customers. Company: Tweetycam PTY LTD Web Address: www.tweetycam.com.au Tweetycam
Parent & Baby Awards 2026 | 11 Breastfeeding medicine is an emerging area of medical practice that brings together expertise in maternal health, infant health, lactation, perinatal mental health, and family-centred care. Leading the charge in this growing field is Breastfeeding & Beyond, an Australianbased practice providing highly individualised, evidence-based care that combines clinical excellence with genuine compassion. We spoke with Clinical Director Dr Melody Jackson below, as Breastfeeding & Beyond is named in the Parent and Baby Awards 2026. Infant Feeding & Perinatal Health Champions of the Year 2026 – Australia In the current landscape of breastfeeding medicine, Breastfeeding & Beyond has observed an emerging trend in the growing complexity of the families seeking support. Parents today are navigating enormous amounts of information, often receiving conflicting advice from social media, online forums, healthcare providers, and even well-meaning family members. Many come to Breastfeeding & Beyond feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure whom to trust. There is also rising awareness of perinatal mental health, neurodiversity, birth trauma, and the ways these factors can influence infant feeding and parenting experiences. Families are now increasingly seeking care that looks beyond a single feeding issue and considers their broader wellbeing. The team has adapted by broadening its focus from breastfeeding support alone to a more holistic model of family-centred care, integrating breastfeeding medicine, maternal health, perinatal health, neurodiversity-affirming practice, and trauma-informed care to better meet the needs of modern families. “Breastfeeding and infant feeding support is about so much more than feeding alone,” Melody told us. “Families often come to us seeking help with a practical concern, but beneath that may be questions about confidence, identity, mental health, relationships, returning to work, birth experiences, or adjusting to parenthood. Supporting families during this period is a privilege, and it is a responsibility we take seriously.” The future is incredibly exciting for Breastfeeding & Beyond. The practice’s vision has always been to improve access to high-quality, evidence-based breastfeeding and perinatal care, and the team will continue to expand the ways in which it can support families and healthcare professionals alike. One of the projects Melody is most proud of is the recent release of her poetry book, ‘Tender Thresholds: Reflections on Motherhood and Medicine’, which is a reflection of her own experience as both a doctor and a mother. Melody’s recent book of insightful poetry is currently available via Amazon for purchase. For the remainder of 2026, Breastfeeding & Beyond’s focus is on continuing to provide exceptional care to families whilst expanding its educational and advocacy work. The team remains committed to advancing breastfeeding medicine as a recognised area of expertise, whilst upholding its unwavering focus on supporting the families who have placed their unwavering trust in Australia’s Infant Feeding and Perinatal Health Champions of the Year 2026. “Every new initiative, resource, and service is guided by the same goal that inspired Breastfeeding & Beyond from the very beginning: helping parents feel supported, informed, and confident during one of the most important journeys of their lives,” Melody concluded. “Every day, we are inspired by the resilience, dedication, and love that parents show their children. This award is a reflection not only of our team, but also of the families who allow us to be part of their journey.” She continued: “It is a tremendous honour to be recognised as Infant Feeding and Perinatal Health Champions of the Year 2026, and we remain committed to improving care, education, and support for families throughout Australia and beyond.” Contact: Dr Melody Jackson Company: Breastfeeding & Beyond Web Address: www.breastfeedingandbeyond.com.au Based in Sydney, Australia, Breastfeeding & Beyond is a specialist medical practice dedicated to supporting parents, babies, and families throughout the perinatal period. The practice provides evidence-based, compassionate care for a wide range of breastfeeding, infant feeding, maternal health, and early parenting concerns. Breastfeeding & Beyond serves a specific clientele, encompassing pregnant women, breastfeeding parents, infants, children, and families seeking support with feeding challenges, infant growth, maternal wellbeing, neurodivergence, and the transition to parenthood. Its team also works closely with GPs, paediatricians, obstetricians, midwives, child and family health nurses, psychologists, and allied health professionals to provide integrated care. In this field, Breastfeeding & Beyond’s area of specialisation lies in breastfeeding and lactation medicine. The practice manages complex breastfeeding and infant feeding concerns, spanning low milk supply, nipple pain, tongue-tie assessment, breast refusal, feeding aversion, infant growth concerns, relactation, induced lactation, breastfeeding after trauma, and breast feeding in the context of maternal or infant medical conditions. “Our philosophy is that successful care is not simply about helping a baby feed; it is about helping families feel informed, supported, confident, and connected.” B Creating Healthy and Happy Beginnings
Parent & Baby Awards 2026 | 12 The team deploying this model are direct, honest, and thorough, giving legal professionals the confidence that every family will be assessed with the same rigour, humanity, and unflinching commitment to the best interests of every child. Faith commented: “The quality of a residential family assessment ultimately rests on the quality of the people conducting it; their judgement, their attentiveness, their professionalism, and their ability to build a working relationship with a family that is both genuinely supportive and rigorously honest.” This is why, she continued: “Our staff are, without question, the most important element of what we do.” Their task across these parenting capacity assessment services is to maintain the balance that is so crucial to this kind of work. It would be easy for TY Parenting Assessment Services to be the service known for harsh conclusions, or, alternatively, the one known for giving every family the benefit of the doubt. But neither of those approaches actually serve children, families, or the family justice system. However difficult, it is fundamental for the team to uphold a balanced assessment practice that is rigorous but not punitive, supportive but not naïve, and honest without being unkind. They must recognise that the most effective parenting assessment happens not in a formal observation or a structured interview, but in the accumulation of day-today interactions, like mealtimes, bedtime, or when something difficult to hear is brought to their attention. TY Parenting Assessment Services’ model exists for the exact reason that these moments cannot be planned or created. They must be lived, observed, and carefully recorded by those who understand what they are looking for and why it matters. “Every assessment we complete carries the weight of a child’s future”, said Faith in closing. “We do not take that lightly, and we never will.” More on the full range of support delivered by TY Parenting Assessment Services Ltd at the Kensington and beyond can be found at the website below. Contact: Faith Munroe Company: TY Parenting Assessment Services Ltd Web Address: https://www.typarenting.com/ ased in Northolt, West London, TY Parenting Assessment Services’ residential parent and child assessment centre delivers specialist family assessment and safeguarding services rigorous enough to withstand judicial scrutiny but humanistic enough to give families a real opportunity to show their capabilities. Working with babies, infants, and older children, as well as mothers, fathers, extended family members, and a full range of professionals in the world of public law and care proceedings, TY Parenting Assessment Services covers the full spectrum of complexity that exists within family court proceedings. This child-focused family assessment provider sets itself apart through comprehensive and holistic assessments, looking at everything from parenting capacity to the quality of parent-child relationships, the consistency of care, emotional availability, the ability to prioritise a child’s needs, and more. Behind every assessment delivered by this child-focused family assessment provider is the ethos that any progress made must be genuine and enduring, not merely situational or assessment-led. This goal is fundamental to its assessment process. As Faith explained: “Our approach is calibrated to distinguish between families who present challenges but retain the capacity to parent safely, and those for whom the evidence points in a different direction.” TY Parenting Assessment Services achieves this by adhering to its philosophy that robust assessments and compassionate practice are not working against one another, and that they are, in fact, inseparable. Families who feel trapped or under threat will close down, and this is why it is crucial for the team here to develop a professional relationship that is fair and transparent, where parents understand exactly what is being assessed and why. “Families who feel seen and respected show you who they really are”, Faith told us. “That distinction matters enormously when the outcome of an assessment will shape the trajectory of a child’s entire life.” The model used by this residential parent and child assessment centre sees clear, non-negotiable expectations combined with skilled daily observation, practical parenting support, reflective work, and evidenceinformed practice frameworks.
