Every family needs some kind of support, no matter the age of their children. That’s why our Best Start Family Hubs provide an upgraded programme of activities and support for parents and young people of all ages.
Best Start Family Hubs provide
- Best Start in Life activities for 0 to 5 year olds,
- Space4All programme for young people aged up to 19 or 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities,
- and the Early Help Service's wide range of support for parents.
Based in the heart of neighbourhoods, Best Start Family Hubs offer everything from health services to creative play and parenting programmes, plus much more.
Waltham Forest's four Best Start Family Hubs are a one-stop shop to access the support families need, physically open 5 days a week with some weekend provisions including an accessible supportive phone line.
Local Best Start in Life services are here to support you and your family to care for your new baby.
