Flou School Readiness sessions in the park The Strong Start team are a team of Early Years Workers commissioned by Public Health to offer universal support and advice to families with under 5s. In the last year we have been supporting families virtually but we are beginning to run some face to face sessions outdoors. In July and August we will be running an adapted School Readiness programme in local green spaces and parks.

These sessions will include a variety of activities aimed at helping children develop the key skills they will need when starting school. The session will also include ideas and information on activities families can do at home to help prepare the child for starting school.

During the sessions families will also be able to talk on a 1:1 basis with our qualified Early Years professionals about development and wellbeing topics, ask questions and share any concerns or worries they have about their child or own wellbeing.
