Family Hubs 

Your local Family Hub is a virtual space where you can find advice, support and connect with others in your area. 

The Family Hubs offer a range of information, support and advice for families at a local and county level. This is communicated mainly through the Family Hub Facebook pages but can also be answered by individual queries by email, message or phone calls. 

We also have produced a wealth of in-house support which has been created by the Early Years Coordination team

Following your District’s Family Hub on Facebook is also a good way to keep informed on things of interest to families. It is also another way to make contact with your local Children’s Centre. You can find more information on the Family Hubs on Staffordshire Connects.
