Best Start Family Hub Elmhurst

Support your child’s first school steps into Reception

Help prepare your little one for their big school adventure by turning everyday skills into fun little wins!

Let them practise feeding themselves - spoons, forks, chopsticks, let them open their lunchboxes and unwrap or unpeel their healthy snacks (tricky but important!).

Try one new practical skill at home this week - every little step builds confidence! Follow along to support your child’s journey.

Unfortunately, we're having some problems with our water pipes. 💙

For the next few days, the centre will only be open for food parcels and pre-booked 1:1 appointments as we have no flushing toilets.

We'll let you know as soon as we're fully open again. Thanks for bearing with us!
