Nursery World - Here we grow

Starting nursery is a big step for both children and their parents, and an innovative scheme, called Here We Grow, has been developed at a Sure Start Project in Haringey, north London, to ease the transition, writes Tom Morris. Sure Start aims to meet the social, emotional, health and learning needs of children under the age of four, as well as strengthen families and communities. Here We Grow has provided an ideal opportunity for the local health, education and adult learning agencies to work together to meet these targets.

Who is it for?

The Sure Start trailblazer project in West Green and Chestnuts, Haringey, serves a community with high levels of deprivation, high unemployment and many refugees and asylum seekers, who do not have English as a first language and who are largely unaware of children's services and how to access them.
