This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Interim Senior EYFS Advisory Teacher, Karen Loft, for the attention of all schools and Early Years settings to share with families.
In case you are not aware of the ‘Solihull approach to parenting programme’……It was created by psychologists, psychotherapists, health visitors and NHS and education professionals and has evolved over 20 years.
Public health has procured the programme across Slough, Frimley Health and Care ICS including Ascot, Bracknell, Farnham, Maidenhead, North East Hampshire, Slough & Windsor and Surrey and South Bucks until April 2023, for families to access.
