Hello…
I’m Lottie, founder of Bedtime and Beyond Sleep Consultancy.
I’m a qualified Norland Nanny and Norland Maternity practitioner with a Bachelor’s Honours Degree in Early Years and over 16 years of experience in childcare.
My childcare journey started when I was 13, after the arrival of my youngest brother, Christopher. Looking after him made me realise that supporting and nurturing children came naturally to me — and I knew I wanted to make it my career. In 2013, I found myself at the doors of Norland College in Bath, ready to begin a journey that would shape not only my career, but the way I support families today.
After finishing my training at Norland in 2016, my first Newly Qualified Nanny role (NQN) was with three-month-old triplets and an 18-month-old little girl. It didn’t take long for me to see just how much lack of sleep affects everything. From your mood to your energy levels, and even the joy of everyday moments.
Since then, every family I’ve worked with has faced similar sleep challenges. During the Covid pandemic, I shifted from traditional nannying into maternity support, and something quickly became clear: sleep was the number one topic on every parent’s mind. Wherever I went whether I was listening to parenting podcasts, reading baby books, or chatting to other parents and carers at local baby groups the conversation always came back to one thing: sleep.
I know how deeply sleep deprivation can affect both you and your family. I’ve lived it, I’ve seen it with my own eyes and been part of that journey more than once. I understand how exhausting sleep deprivation can be and it affects everything, from your mood to how you show up each day. I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming it can feel and how transformative the right support can be. That’s what led me to become a certified Baby and Toddler Sleep Consultant and create Bedtime and Beyond a place where gentle, responsive support helps you and your little one find the rest you both need.
Am I the right Sleep Coach for you?
Choosing someone to support your little one’s sleep is a big decision.
You’re trusting them with your baby’s rest, your own sanity, and your precious, limited time and energy and I take that responsibility very seriously.
Here is what I believe:
Everyone Is Different - No two babies, or families are the same. That’s why I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Your sleep plan will be tailored to your reality, your routines, and what matters most to you.
Realistic Sleep Support - Sleep support should fit into your life, not the other way around. If a plan only works on paper and limits your day-to-day freedom, it’s not the right one. Together, we’ll create a rhythm that works for your real life — baby classes, outings, siblings, and everything in between.
No judgement, no pressure - We’re not waiting for things to magically get better, but we’re also not rushing into quick fixes that don’t feel right. My focus is on creating balance, building confidence, and lasting results.
Coaching - Sleep coaching goes beyond a written plan, it is having someone in your pocket. I’ll support you with daily check-ins, voice notes, and gentle reassurance whenever it matters most. Sometimes you just need to rant to someone who understands and gets it.
Parents matter too! - Your wellbeing, your relationship, and simply feeling like yourself again are just as important as helping your baby sleep well.
If you’re looking for support that meets you where you are — with empathy, honesty, and a sprinkle of humour . We will get along just fine.
