Rotherham Family Hubs and Best Start in Life

Rotherham has been successful in getting additional funding from the Government to support our work with children and families. Family Hubs operate in Rotherham Children’s Centres and Early Help buildings. Local families can visit with their children and receive information, advice and support for all things related to raising a family.

Family Hubs bring lots of services together, to work with families from pregnancy and through childhood to the teenage years and up to 25 with special educational needs and disabilities.

How we can help

We understand that being a parent or carer can be both rewarding and challenging. That's why we've created the Family Hubs and the Best Start in Life programme in our Childrens Centres, a range of services and support to help you to give your child the best start in life.
