How one nursery school is working with their local Family Hub to support families.
Family Hubs offer vital resources for Early Years providers, parents, and communities, bringing together expert advice, practical support, and essential services in one place. From home learning programmes like HENRY and EasyPeasy to midwifery, speech and language support, and mental health services, Family Hubs provide a holistic support network for families.
By partnering with a local Family Hub, one nursery school successfully introduced the EPEC (Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities) programme, removing accessibility barriers by hosting sessions on-site, offering a creche, and inviting feeder schools. Parents reported increased confidence and valuable learning to support their children at home.
