HENRY in Waltham Forest
The Best Start with HENRY service supports families with children aged 0-5 to provide the best and healthiest start in life for their children.
Find out more
Take a look at the Best Start general service leaflet. Our family services cover four key themes:
- Infant feeding – breast, bottle or mixed
- Healthy eating
- Dental health
- Speech & language
If you’re interested in finding out more about how we can help you, the first step is to call us
(020 8496 5223) or pop to your nearest children’s centre for our next neighbourhood drop-in session (see the links above).
We can talk about services that can support your family: for example this could be a place on our Steps to Speaking course, going to a Starting Solids workshop, a dental outreach session or a home visit for infant feeding support.
