Empowering parents
& children.
The Clever Tortoise is here to provide support to parents/guardians of all children to help support their emotional, mental, academic and social development no matter the cause or size of the concern.
About Us
Growing up we were always taught if you learn things bit by bit and do a little bit every day you will learn quicker, you won’t forget things and it won’t seem like you have so much to do - the essence of slow and steady wins the race - a tortoise!
And so the story of the tortoise and the hare was a childhood mantra…but what if you could put good mind set together with good teaching or good toys then wouldn’t the progress be quicker and the learning faster - a skate board! At Clever Tortoise you will find professional supports in enhancing the skills of parents, teachers, educators and children alike.
A platform developed to share skills and ideas, resources and strategies to add to the tool box.

Meet Noelle Hartnett - Founder of The Clever Tortoise

MSc in Child, Child Development and Youth – Brunel University London
Qualification in Behavioural Analysis – Florida Institute
For the past 18 years I have been providing scientifically supported bespoke programmes to both individual programmes for families, schools, nurseries in London. The programmes and training programmes have been targeting a range of skills including language development, play skills, social skills, self help and independence, executive functioning and organisation, school readiness and emotional regulation as well as behavioural management.
I have worked with children and young people from 2 – 18 years old. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Fragile X Syndrome, Global Development Delay , language impairment, oppositional defiant disorder as well as a larger number of children who need some support with specific learning, language or behavioural concerns.
Our Packages
Our packages are thoughtfully designed to support families, children, and educators at every stage of development. Whether you’re seeking a one-off consultation, short-term guidance, or a more structured, long-term programme, each package offers practical, evidence-based strategies tailored to your child’s unique needs.
With a focus on real progress and achievable outcomes, our approach combines professional expertise with personalised support to help build confidence, independence, and lasting skills in both children and those who support them.
