Leanne Wilkinson is an Accredited Baby and Child Sleep Consultant.
As a devoted mum to a toddler, a supportive stepmum to a teenager, and an experienced primary school teacher for over 20 years, Leanne has spent her career understanding children of all ages and the families who support them.
Throughout her teaching career, Leanne saw firsthand how a lack of sleep affected children’s learning, behaviour, and relationships. This sparked her deep interest in the science of sleep. Then, in 2020, after welcoming her son, sleep became an even bigger focus. Like many new parents, she found herself navigating endless questions—Is he getting enough daytime sleep? What are the right awake windows? How do I help him sleep independently? These experiences reinforced her passion for understanding and improving children’s sleep. After a successful teaching career, Leanne joined the Little Dreams franchise team to support families across Birmingham in building better sleep routines. Her background in child development gives her a unique perspective on sleep challenges at every stage, from newborns to older children.
Leanne is known for her calm, caring, and approachable nature. She strives to make parents feel supported and at ease while helping them achieve the restful nights they deserve.

Parent workshop FAQs
What parents say about us…
“This session gave me a really good boost and I now know I’m not alone.”
“This week has been difficult – almost at the point of placement breakdown. This (workshop) has given me hope!”
“It is refreshing to meet people with the same sort of circumstances – parenting as a neurodivergent adult, having children with conflicting sensory needs, clash/triggering each other.”
“It was so helpful to know there is help out there and that other parents are in similar situations. I feel less alone when I start to think I’m struggling or drowning.”
“It has been good to think about support networks, and how that helps to reduce violent and aggressive behaviours, as well as increasing capacity to manage the situation.”
“A great opportunity to get together with other parents and care givers going through similar experiences, to hear how others are living lives like ours.”
“I never knew how much I needed this until I started, but knew I was burning out. I got so much out of it personally and lots to take away.”
“I have not just a greater understanding after this workshop but feeling that what we are living is real and not just our perception and that someone else gets it.”
