Jolly Back, led by Lorna Taylor, a paediatric physiotherapist, specialises in early years back care products and education.
Lorna was inspired by the dedication of early years teaching and support staff and knew firsthand the challenges and discomfort often experienced when working at low heights with young children – bending over low tables, sitting on children’s chairs, kneeling on the floor, moving awkward play equipment, shifting heavy paperwork and books, limited space…the list could go on!
By understanding human anatomy and movement and genuinely believing in health education and injury prevention, Lorna created Jolly Back in 2009 to provide practical and ergonomic solutions for early years employers and employees.
Lorna set about creating her first product, the unique Jolly Back Chair, after being unable to find a low, mobile chair which would beneficially support staff – both practically and ergonomically.
EYA is proud to have Lorna as an affiliate. Need to have a chat about back care, training and products, don’t be shy get in touch.

Sense is running a public inquiry into the provision of play opportunities for children aged 0-5 with multiple needs in England and Wales. They believe, as we do, that play is an essential part of every child’s life. In addition to being fun, playing helps children gain vital social and communication skills and to develop an understanding of the world around them. Despite this, it is known that children with multiple needs often do not get the same opportunities to play as other children. Through their inquiry, they hope to find out more about whether barriers exist to children with multiple needs accessing play, and to learn more about what works. They will produce a report and develop policy recommendations for national and local government. They would like parents and professionals to get in touch to share their views and experiences of play. There are several ways you can feed into the inquiry, by logging on to the link find the best one for you.
