Confidential 1:1 Early Years advice for parents of 0–5s, offering support on development, behaviour, routines and local services.

Our Early Years Advice Clinic offer parents and carers of children aged 0–5 a dedicated opportunity to talk one‑to‑one with a trained Early Years Practitioner.

These sessions provide a supportive, confidential space to discuss any questions, concerns, or worries about your child’s development or family life.

Appointments can support a wide range of topics, including child development, behaviour, sleep, routines, speech and language, toileting, feeding, emotional wellbeing, and parenting confidence. We can also help you explore local services and support available to you and your family. Please come with a specific topic(s) you wish to discuss with the practitioner.

The sessions are informal, non‑judgemental, and tailored to your family’s needs. Whether you’re looking for reassurance, practical advice, or guidance on next steps, we’re here to listen and help.

Appointments are on a first come, first served basis but you are welcome to wait in the hub with your little one before and after your 1:1. This session has been developed in response to feedback from families. As it is in the early stages, we expect it to evolve and develop over time in line with local needs.
