The first 1,001 days (the time between when you become pregnant and your baby’s second birthday), are a really important time for babies and their parents. During this time your baby’s brain is developing very quickly. What your baby experiences during this key time shapes the rest of their lives.
In Middlesbrough we want all children to have the best possible start in life, so we want to provide the support that you need to help your baby thrive during their early years. Our Start for Life Offer sets out the services and support that are available to you and your family, to support your parenting journey.
Some services are available to everyone and some offer specialist support only for those that need it.
