⭐ Excellent Service ⭐

“When I bought my house I thought the process would be difficult as it was a complicated purchase. Claire made the process a lot easier and wouldn't let the other party stall.”

👏 A big shout-out to Claire for her dedication, determination, and excellent service in making the home-buying process smoother!

What a fantastic effort from everyone today! 💙

Facing higher-division opposition with just 11 players and putting in a performance like that is something to be incredibly proud of. To take the game to them, create so many chances and lead twice shows the quality, determination and team spirit within this squad.

Results don't always tell the full story, and this sounds like a performance full of heart, resilience and commitment from every single player. Keep believing, keep working hard and keep enjoying your football. The progress being made is clear to see.

We're proud to support such a hardworking and dedicated team and can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings.

Well done, ladies - heads held high and on to the next one! ⚽👏💙

Ladies bow out of cup!

A fantastic effort from our 11 players today against higher-division opposition! 💥
We dominated the first 25 minutes with chance after chance and took a deserved 1–0 lead thanks to a brilliant first-half strike. A brief lapse in concentration just before the break allowed Duffield to pull one back, sending us into half-time level. We came out firing in the second half and struck again to regain the lead! ⚽

As the half went on, Duffield grew into the game and managed to push ahead, taking a 4–2 win in the end.
While we're out of the Plate, we couldn't be prouder of the team.
Every single player gave it everything from start to finish—onwards and upwards to the next one! ⚽👏
A massive thank you to our sponsors

When you know your child needs more support, but you’re not sure what to do next… 💜

If you’re a parent or carer of a child or young person with SEND, you may have found yourself thinking:

“Is this support enough?”
“Why does everything feel like such a fight?”
“Should my child have an EHCP?”
“Where do I even start?”

You don’t have to have all the answers before asking for help.

At Lovedays Solicitors, our Education Support Service is here to help families understand their rights, their options and what they can do next.

We can provide practical, specialist advice and support with:

💜 Understanding your child’s education and SEND rights
💜 Concerns about the support your child is receiving
💜 EHCP assessments, reviews and appeals
💜 School and college placements
💜 Preparing for meetings and communicating with schools or the local authority
💜 SEND Tribunal support where appropriate

We know that navigating SEND support can feel complicated and exhausting. Our role is to make things clearer, help you understand your options and support you through the next steps.

You don’t need to know exactly what legal help you need. That’s what we’re here for.

💜 Practical guidance. Clear next steps. Trusted support.

Continuing to strengthen our expertise in Education Law 💜

Today, Lovedays Solicitors is attending the Education Law Conference 2026, hosted at A&O Shearman and organised by LAG and Garden Court Chambers.

As we continue to develop our Education Support Service, keeping up to date with developments in education law, emerging issues and best practice is an important part of ensuring the support we provide to parents, carers, children and young people is informed and effective.

It’s also a valuable opportunity to hear from specialists working across the sector, share knowledge and bring that learning back into the work we do at Lovedays.
Because supporting families through education difficulties starts with understanding the law, the system and the challenges they face.

Week 3 of the Autumn Term: Is your SEND provision on track?

As schools settle into the new academic year, many SEND teams will be reviewing provision, identifying emerging needs and planning support for the months ahead.

By this stage of term, key priorities often include:
✅ Updating SEND registers
✅ Reviewing EHCPs and planning annual reviews
✅ Establishing intervention programmes
✅ Meeting with parents and carers
✅ Training staff on pupil needs
✅ Ensuring appropriate access arrangements are in place

With increasing pressures on schools, trusts and SENCOs, balancing statutory responsibilities alongside day-to-day provision can be challenging.

At Lovedays Solicitors Education Support Service, we work alongside schools and education settings to provide practical and specialist SEND support, including:
📌 EHCP advice and reviews
📌 SEND compliance and legal guidance
📌 School placement advice
📌 Parent and school dispute resolution
📌 SEND Tribunal support
📌 SEND training and awareness sessions
📌 Strategic SEND support for schools and trusts

Whether you need advice on a specific matter or are looking to strengthen SEND provision across your setting, we're here to help.

💬 Get in touch to discuss how we can support your school, trust or education setting.

Just because a river runs through your estate doesn’t mean you have the right to fish it - or stop others from doing so.

Water boundaries and sporting rights are among the most misunderstood areas of UK land law, often leaving landowners exposed to unexpected boundary disputes or environmental liabilities.

At Lovedays Solicitors, we are experts in agricultural land law and riparian rights. We can examine historical deeds, resolve trespass issues, and draft modern, watertight sporting leases designed to protect your rural assets.

Get in touch with Lovedays Solicitors to find out how we can help.
