Starjumpz

What Starjumpz does

Starjumpz is a UK-based private multidisciplinary healthcare centre operating under the legal entity Pioneering Children's Services Ltd, with clinical sites in Crowborough, East Sussex and Brighton. The clinic was originally established in 1989 as the Christmas Children's Clinic and was refounded in 2011 by Joanna Brett. It provides assessment and therapeutic services for children with neurodevelopmental conditions — including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and related profiles — delivered through a 360° multidisciplinary model spanning occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, neurofeedback, functional medicine, psychotherapy, and related disciplines. Starjumpz serves private-pay families, NHS patients via IAPT contracts, schools, and social services, with assessment fees reaching £3,850 and individual neurofeedback sessions priced at £88. The centre is CQC-regulated and GDPR-compliant, deploys third-party clinical technologies including QbCheck computer-based ADHD screening and EEG-based neurofeedback, and runs an Alpha-Stim electrotherapy partnership with Microcurrent Site Ltd. Senior clinical leadership includes Dr Georgie Siggers and Dr Katalin Schneider; the firm's diagnostic reports are used as evidentiary material in tribunal proceedings. In 2025 the business expanded into a Brighton site and launched an 'ADHD in the Workplace' service targeting the adult and employer-funded segment, signalling a multi-site, multi-segment scaling posture.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Psychiatry-UK: UK provider of private (and Right to Choose NHS-funded) adult and child ADHD and autism assessments and treatment via online titration services. Direct peer because it competes head-on for the same neurodevelopmental assessment demand that Starjumpz serves, particularly via NHS pathways.
• Healios: Online mental health platform offering NHS-funded autism, ADHD and psychological assessments for children and adults. Comparable to Starjumpz in neurodevelopmental assessment scope, but competes primarily through a digital/remote delivery model rather than in-centre paediatrician-led assessment.
• Clinical Partners: UK private mental health provider delivering adult and child psychiatry, ADHD and autism assessments plus therapy. Comparable in being a private-pay, multi-clinician mental health service with paediatric and psychiatric assessments at premium price points.
• Axia ASD: UK private diagnostic clinic focused on autism assessments using NICE-aligned tools (ADOS, ADI). Direct competitor in the private-pay neurodevelopmental assessment niche, particularly for families seeking faster access than NHS pathways.
• The London Psychiatry Centre: Private UK clinic providing adult and child ADHD and autism assessments with consultant psychiatrists. Comparable in premium private-pay model and consultant-led diagnostic pathway, though more London-centric.

Broad incumbents

• Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Private Patient Services: Major UK children's hospital offering neurodevelopmental assessment and therapy within NHS and private services. Broad incumbent that overlaps with Starjumpz's paediatric neurodevelopmental focus but operates at much larger scale and as part of a tertiary NHS trust.
• NHS CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services): Statutory UK mental health services for children and adolescents, including neurodevelopmental assessment. Not a commercial peer but the primary alternative against which Starjumpz's premium private pathway is sold (NHS waiting lists are the demand engine for Starjumpz).

Others

• Ambitious about Autism: UK charity operating TreeHouse School and the Ambitious about Autism Schools Trust, providing autism-specific education and family support. Adjacent to Starjumpz in serving neurodivergent children and families but as an education-focused charity rather than a clinical assessment provider.
• SENSORY SMART (Sensory Integration Education / SI Network): UK-based training and resource provider for sensory integration therapy used by OTs. Adjacent to Starjumpz's sensory integration room offering (built with Rompa) and to the OT talent pipeline Starjumpz draws from, but does not deliver direct clinical services.

Emerging players

• Child Autism UK: UK-focused provider of autism assessment and post-diagnostic support for children and parents. Smaller-scale and narrower (autism-only) than Starjumpz's multi-condition 360° model, but competes in the same parent-driven private-pay market.
