The Start for Life offer provides support to parents and carers from a child's conception until their second birthday. This is a critical time in your child's development. It is also a time of significant change within a family's life, and you or your child may need extra support.
The key Start for Life services are:
- maternity services
- health visiting services
- infant feeding support
- parental mental health support
- parent infant relationship support
These services are available in Enfield for parents and carers-to-be, or if you have a child under 2 years-old. The Start for Life offer is part of the new Family Hub model of services for children, young people and families across Enfield.
If you're struggling to afford the essentials or need support of any kind, see our cost of living pages.
