She lives with her mum, dad and siblings and has a lovely dog called Roxie who she loves to help care for.

Molly would like to visit the swimming pool, she is a great little swimmer, soft play and trampoline parks but on quiet sessions only. She really enjoys being outdoors too, so the park and nature trips would be an ideal alternative to indoor activities, she does enjoy the Alan Shearer centre too. She enjoys painting, climbing and food play and will often engage in music and dance routines.
Molly has no sense of danger so must be always supervised.
Molly uses an adapted stroller for outings and is happy to travel on public transport.
