Start for Life
The first 1,001 days (from conception to 2 years old) is considered to be the most important time in a child's life for development.
Whether you're a parent/carer, grandparent or other family member, you can use our Start for Life pages to find information, advice and support for this vital period of a child's life.
Special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
In your child's early years, you may have questions or concerns about their development - this may be because of a health condition identified during pregnancy or at birth, or because you are worried their development is not as you anticipated.
Discuss any SEND concerns with your doctor or your health visitor.
Hillingdon's family hubs and children's centres offer a range of sessions, courses and support around special educational needs. Ask at your local family hub or children's centre for details.
You can also find information about services for children with special education needs and disabilities on our SEND local offer pages.
