Home Start Groups

Taking elements of Home-Start's "Big Hopes, Big Futures" Programme, our support offers a range of strategies to encourage and develop a positive, fun and engaging environment.

About Home Start Groups

Groups are aimed at children aged 0–4, including pre-school children, with the overall aim that children will show an increased ability to focus, listen and communicate, improve physical development, build resilience and coping skills, and be better prepared for early years education.

Our groups take elements of Home-Start's "Big Hopes, Big Futures" Programme, offering a range of strategies to encourage and develop a positive, fun and engaging environment for children and their families.
