Children’s early years should be enjoyable and secure but full of fun and challenge. The early years are a time when children develop rapidly, physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. It is important for children to have the best start in life so they can flourish in later years.

Surestart is a government programme which aims to achieve better outcomes for children, parents and communities. One of the aims is to improve children’s health.

‘Health is not just the absence of disease but a state of mental and physical well being’ (World Health Organisation).

Working alongside the community our aims at SureStart Bradley and Whitefield are to help you and your family achieve optimum health.

We support families in healthy eating, encouraging breast feeding, speech and language development, dental services, stopping smoking and working together with other health professionals.
