About us

Best Start Family Hubs are local centres where children, young people, parents, and carers in Solihull can access support and take part in fun activities!

The Hubs team work with partner organisations such as the NHS to help Solihull residents to get in touch with local services.

Examples of support services include:

• Health visiting and midwifery
• Parental guidance and wellbeing
• Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Examples of activity sessions include:

• Stay and plays and games
• Craft, music, and seasonal events
• Education, sports, and youth groups

We allow community groups to hold activity sessions at the Hubs for free so they can invest in their services and provide high-quality events for Solihull residents.

There are four main Hubs in Solihull, three of which are operated by Solihull Council:

• Elmwood in Smith's Wood
• Evergreen in Kingshurst (operated by The Colebridge Trust).
• Hatchford Brook in Elmdon
• Riverside in Chelmsley Wood

There are also Outreach Hubs available at:

• Shirley Heath Junior School
• Meriden CofE Primary School
