Helping your child live more freely with allergy

You want your child to thrive at school, with friends, and in every aspect of their life. Their allergy shouldn't define their childhood. Our specialist team provides the diagnosis, reassurance, and treatment plan that gives your family freedom and confidence.

We understand what you're going through

Food allergy in children is deeply emotional. You worry about every meal, every playdate, every school trip. You wonder what the future looks like - will they grow out of it? What about secondary school? University? Can they ever live independently?

These concerns are valid. But you don't have to navigate them alone. Our specialist paediatric team has spent years helping families move from anxiety to confidence. We provide the investigation that gets to the bottom of what's happening, the diagnosis that brings clarity, and the treatment plan that opens doors.

What many families don't realise is that modern allergy medicine has moved far beyond simple avoidance. Treatment options exist that weren't available even five years ago.

Specialist care for children with food allergies

Detailed evaluation

We take time to understand your child's history, symptoms, and concerns. We review what's already been done and identify any gaps in investigation.

Accurate diagnosis

Using modern testing methods and clinical expertise, we work out exactly which allergens are causing problems — and which can safely be reintroduced.

Management planning

We create a clear, practical plan for daily management including how to handle accidental exposures, when and how to use emergency medications, and day-to-day nutrition.

Treatment pathways

Where appropriate, we offer modern treatments like oral immunotherapy (OIT), which can fundamentally change the trajectory of your child's life with allergy.

Education and support

We provide education for you, your child, schools, and other carers. Understanding allergy means safer, more confident management.

Ongoing partnership

We stay involved, reviewing progress, adjusting plans as your child grows, and supporting you through transitions like starting school or secondary education.

Expert care with less disruption

Looking ahead with confidence

The families we work with tell us the same thing: knowing there's a plan makes all the difference. Knowing their child has been properly investigated. Knowing that if treatment is available, they're accessing it. Knowing they have a specialist they can reach out to as their child grows and life changes.
We think about the whole arc of your child's life with allergy — secondary school, sleepovers, school trips, university. These questions matter, and they should be part of your care plan from the beginning.

Care that fits around your life

Most of your care with us happens remotely. Only the initial consultation needs to be in-person. Results discussions and follow-ups can all take place from home — less time away from work, less disruption to school, and easier participation for the whole family.
When you do need to see us in person — for specific clinical procedures or simply because you prefer face-to-face — that's available too. We adapt to what works for your family.

Why remote works for allergy care

  • Detailed history and symptom discussion works perfectly over video
  • Test results and management plans are easier to explain with screen-sharing
  • Reduces infection exposure and makes scheduling flexible
  • Children and families feel more relaxed at home
  • You have your own notes and records immediately available

Peanut oral immunotherapy

Oral immunotherapy (OIT) can transform a child's life with peanut allergy. By introducing tiny, carefully measured amounts of peanut protein and increasing them very gradually, OIT helps the body build tolerance - reducing both the risk and the fear of accidental reactions.

What it is

A structured treatment that introduces small, gradually increasing amounts of peanut protein, training the immune system to tolerate it over time.

Pharmaceutical-grade, not supermarket peanuts

We use only regulated, pharmaceutical-quality peanut products made to GMP standards in MHRA-inspected facilities - never variable, unregulated retail products - so every dose is precise and consistent.

Home-based updosing

Only the initial assessment needs to be in person. Daily dosing happens at home, supported by a clinical diary app, daily review by our team, and video calls. No unnecessary consultations - minimal disruption to school and family life.

Is it right for your child?

Suitable for children from around age one with a confirmed peanut allergy and well-controlled asthma and hay fever. It may not suit very severe reactions or where daily dosing can't be maintained - we'll give you an honest recommendation after assessment.

What to expect

Doses rise in small daily steps over about four months, then a maintenance phase continues to around one year. Mild reactions such as an itchy mouth or tummy discomfort are common; we adjust the pace to your child.

Experience you can trust

Our team ran the first published UK clinical trial of peanut OIT and has since treated over 200 children - more than 15 years of specialist experience.

Other allergies we help with

Cow's milk allergy

Cow's milk allergy is both over and under-diagnosed by health care professionals. We can help you understand if your infant is truly allergic to milk and what to do about it. We will advise you how to manage when your infant is allergic to milk and guide you through milk reintroduction.

Egg allergy

This common food allergy shows up in infants and usually goes away with a little help from the egg ladder. We will help you by diagnosing your child's allergy to egg and guiding you through reintroduction.

Other food allergies

Food allergy is common, from tree nuts, sesame and legumes to crustacea, fish and other seeds. We will help you to diagnose and manage these allergies, providing a comprehensive management plan for each.

Eczema

Eczema is often misunderstood as an allergy, presenting early in life when infants are getting used to new foods. Milk allergy or other food allergy has to be considered. We will give you the latest insights into this common condition and help you understand whether or not the eczema is an allergic reaction. We provide comprehensive skin care management regimens with the latest approaches.

Hives

This is an increasingly common issue in children. Often there is confusion whether the hives are really caused by an allergic reaction, or appear spontaneously. We will give you a clear answer to this and provide a management plan for the hives which will bring relief.

Hayfever and pet allergy

Grass and tree pollen hay fever are very common, but often under-treated in the community. We will help you with an accurate diagnosis and optimise your treatment with the best available medications to help you cope with everyday life.
