Cheshire West and Chester Council is launching Best Start Family Hubs this October half-term across four locations: Winsford, Northwich, Ellesmere Port and Chester. The hubs are designed to provide a wide range of services for families under one roof, from pregnancy and early years support through to support for older children and the wider family.

During launch week, families will be able to visit the hubs to take part in free activities, including stay-and-play sessions, family fun events, parenting support and health and wellbeing advice. They will also have the opportunity to meet the teams and learn how to use the new online booking system.

The hubs will offer guidance and practical support on infant feeding, child development, emotional wellbeing, special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), parenting, relationships, employment and financial wellbeing. Cllr Adam Langan, cabinet member for children, young people and families, said the hubs mark 'an important step in making sure that children, young people and families can access the right support, at the right time, in the right place'. The programme will operate alongside the borough's existing children's centres.
