More!
Fenchurch and Octagon Family Hubs are expanding our offer bringing you even more incredible opportunities. Thanks to Funding from the Department of Education and Department of Health and Social Care we are taking things to a whole new level. Providing a wide range of services during pregnancy and throughout the first 1001 days of your child’s life as they grow and develop, creating a vibrant community hub where families can come together, grow and thrive.
As part of the offer we deliver the following courses. Get in touch to find out more!
GroBrain
The GroBrain Baby Course is for parents of babies pre-birth to 12 months. It focuses on bonding and brain development, and the vital part parents and carers play in ‘wiring up’ the connections in their baby’s brain in the first 1001 critical days of life. This ‘brain wiring’ lays the foundation for emotional wellbeing and the way emotions will be handled in later life.
The ‘in person’ Baby Course consists of four sessions, lasting around 2 hours each.
PeeP Learning together programme
Peep supports all parents and carers with children from pregnancy to school, in encouraging their child’s learning and development. You can make a real difference just by talking, playing, singing and sharing books together. Come along – you and your baby or child can make friends, share ideas and activities, and have fun.
Parenting Courses
We offer a wide range of parenting courses for children suitable for children 2-10 years in group settings delivered within the Family hubs.

Working in partnership – Family support
Family support is a collaborative approach where parents, children and staff work together through an Early Help assessment to understand what is going well and identify where support is needed.
We offer support for parenting, managing children’s behaviour, children’s development and emotional wellbeing, antenatal and postnatal support, home safety checks /advice, managing money and budgeting support, housing, parental conflict and much more, as well as signposting/co-ordinating support to ensure most appropriate services are involved. The support is undertaken through 1-1 parenting support, via home visits, school/centre visits, small group work, providing advocacy support at appointments and leading “Team around the family” meetings
