Helping babies born in lockdown get ready for nursery
We've received funding from Reading Borough Council to give extra support to babies born during the Covid pandemic
See below for how to register.
The closure of all of support services during the pandemic meant babies born between September 2019 and August 2021 will have missed out on having the same opportunities as children born at other times. With the right kind of short-term, targeted support these children will have the opportunity to catch up to where their development would otherwise have been.
We know that when children access high quality childcare and children’s centre activities it aids their development and learning. This in turn helps prepare them for nursery and school, which is what the Baby Boost project is all about!
From April 2022, our two-year Baby Boost for Lockdown Babies project will provide much needed opportunities for babies born during the Covid pandemic to play and learn with other children.
- Practice important communication skills
- Develop positive relationships with other adults
- Take their first steps towards preparing for nursery and school
