These one-to-one sessions provide a safe and supportive space for parents and carers to reflect on what is going well, explore any challenges they may be facing, and identify the positive changes they would like to make for their family.
Through parent-led conversations, we focus on recognising strengths, building confidence, and exploring practical approaches that can support family wellbeing. Topics may include child development, understanding behaviour, brain development, sensory regulation, emotional wellbeing, coping strategies, and ways to strengthen relationships within the family.
The aim is to empower parents and carers with knowledge, tools, and strategies that support positive parenting, healthy child development, and the social and emotional wellbeing of the whole family.
Please call Leigh on 07989144148 for any queries or to book.

Action For Children's Boycott your Bed

Friday 2nd October

4 million children now live in poverty in the UK. That is 27% of all children.

Tonight, many will go to bed hungry and will struggle to sleep due to a cold, damp house, and will then start the next day without a warm coat or clothes that fit.

Taking part in Boycott your Bed can help to change this!

Now in its 29th year, Boycott your Bed has raised an incredible £14.6 million to help make sure children have what they need for a safe and happy childhood. Things like warm clothes, hot meals and a proper bed.

Last year, Boycott your Bed raised £350,000 for vulnerable children, young people and their families, and are hoping that 2026 will be even more successful.

Come and join us on our Pyjama Day on Friday 2nd October. We welcome any donations, no matter how small, to help support this fantastic cause and the important work it does. Donation pots will be available in our hubs throughout September.

This month, we explored stories and story baskets with our children. Sharing stories and enjoying interactive play together helped support speech, language, and communication development in a fun and engaging way.
