I’d start with the GP. I’m in Ireland, not the UK, but GPs here can do blood tests to test for common allergens in children. They’ll also refer to specialists for skin-prick testing if necessary. Hopefully similar in the UK, but I’m not certain.

I know you asked for private clinics, but you to need to be very careful and make sure they are medically approved. For example, some places offer IgG allergy testing which is NOT scientifically validated at all (to put it mildly) and should be avoided at all costs. What you need are IgE blood tests and skin-prick testing.

Why not just go to GP.
