About
Waltham Forest Family Hubs bring together services for families with children from birth to 19, or up to 25 where SEND support is needed. The Start for Life offer begins before birth and continues through the earliest months.
The family hubs overview sits alongside a wide spread of local sessions. Grow Wild Explorer is listed up to age 5 at The Lloyd Park Centre on Thursdays at 9.30am, and local options also include a women-only infant feeding cafe at Best Start Family Hub: Leytonstone plus infant feeding support at Wood Street Library.
Friday morning Stay and Play sessions run at Walthamstow Library, Leyton Library, Higham Hill Library and Sybourn Primary School, so parents can compare a library setting with a school venue. That mix of baby support, toddler play and venue choice gives the programme a clear practical shape for the early years.
