Let’s face it bringing up children is one of the hardest jobs out there!

Children don't come with an instruction manual and we all need a bit of help and guidance from time to time.

That’s why in Sandwell, we offer a range of FREE programmes for parents/carers. These are delivered face-to-face as well as online.

Wherever you are on your parenting journey there is a course available for you.

Are you a new parent?

Why not come along to one of our fun and friendly sessions where you will get the chance to meet other new moms, dads, and carers.

These relaxed sessions will help to promote your baby's development, build a stronger bond and support their emotional and physical health. They are a great way to start your parenting journey.

There are also sessions you can complete online at your own pace, with support from one of the friendly Family Hub Team if you have questions.
