Support and Advice for Families

Early Help 0-5 years

We recognise, as emphasised in a number of recent national reviews, that a child’s experience in the foundation years from 0-5 are crucial in determining a child’s long term developmental outcomes.

Our early help provision for this age group includes;

A range of provision at our children’s centres, focused on the most vulnerable families.
A health visiting service, with a focus on supporting vulnerable parents.
An early education programme in which two year old children from low income families experiencing difficulties can be referred for 10 hours free early education per week.
An early years’ special educational needs service, providing specialist support for individual children (0-5) with SEND working alongside families, settings and other agencies to ensure and promote development of skills
An early year’s speech, language and communication service for children, parents and early years settings
