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 work with partner organisations such as the NHS to help families in Solihull to get in touch with local services that can help them.
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
- Craft, music, and seasonal events
- Education, sports, and youth groups
We allow community groups to hold activity sessions at the Hubs for free or a small fee so they can invest in their services and provide high-quality events for people in Solihull.
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 four Best Start Network Sites at:
- Dorridge Primary School
- Meriden CofE Primary School
- Monkspath Junior and Infant School
- Shirley Heath Junior School
