What Are Short Breaks?



At John Jasper Care, we provide high-quality children’s short break services designed to support children with additional needs while giving families and carers valuable time to rest, recharge, or focus on other commitments.

Our short breaks are flexible, safe, and centred around the individual child, ensuring they feel comfortable, supported, and valued at all times.

Our Children’s Short Break Support

We tailor every short break to suit the child’s age, interests, abilities, and support needs. Our services may include:

  • In-home short breaks, providing support in the child’s familiar environment

  • Community-based activities, such as parks, soft play, leisure centres, and social outings

  • Engaging play and activities that support development, confidence, and wellbeing

  • Support with routines, including mealtimes, personal care, and bedtime routines

  • Overnight short breaks in the child’s own home, offering reassurance and continuity

  • 1:1 support to ensure safety, consistency, and personalised care

All activities are planned at a pace that suits the child, with their preferences and comfort always at the centre.

Our Approach to Children’s Care

Our experienced and caring team understands the importance of trust, routine, and positive relationships. We work closely with families to ensure care is consistent with the child’s existing routines, communication methods, and support plans.

We focus on:

  • Promoting confidence and independence

  • Supporting emotional wellbeing

  • Encouraging choice and self-expression

  • Creating enjoyable, meaningful experiences

Supporting Families and Carers

We recognise the vital role families and carers play. Our short break services are designed to provide reliable, flexible support that helps families maintain balance while knowing their child is safe and happy.
