Whether you're exploring childcare options, looking for early intervention support, or simply seeking guidance during these formative years, we’ve gathered trusted sources to help you feel informed and empowered. Supporting families from the very beginning is key—and we’re here to walk that journey with you.

Family Hubs

Derby’s Family Hub is dedicated to helping you access the right support when you need it most. We provide a wide variety of activities, sessions, guidance, and resources for families and young people aged 0–19, and up to 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities. Whether you're looking for practical advice or community connection, they are there to support you.

Resources

Knowledge is power—and for SEND parents and carers, staying informed is one of the most effective ways to advocate for your child or young person.

Understanding your options can help you feel confident, supported, and empowered to make decisions that truly reflect your family's needs. That’s why we’ve compiled a carefully

curated list of services, organisations, and resources designed

to guide you every step of the way. Whether you're just starting out or navigating new challenges, we're here to help you feel

less alone and more equipped.
