Pregnancy and Early Years Support

The Early Years Service exists to meet the needs of families with children, pre-birth to 3 years. We work across the City of Edinburgh with Black and Minority Ethnic families and in the Leith area with families from all communities.

We work in partnership with parents, health workers and social care professionals to provide sensitive and practical support at this early stage. We can provide individual support in the home or at our premises, or families may join with others in one of our groups.

The positive outcomes from the Early Years Service are opportunities for parents to meet other parents, improved emotional well-being for families, increased confidence in parenting and a better understanding of children's individual needs.

Referrals can be made by telephoning the office and are welcomed from families, health visitors and other professionals.
