As one of Sheffield's Best Start Family Hubs, the site offers free activities for young children and support for parents and carers, including breastfeeding groups and drop-ins, baby and toddler groups, walk and talk sessions, weaning seminars, workshops and advice sessions. Wider support includes infant feeding, perinatal mental health services, early learning and language development ideas (Play, Chat and Learn; Making it REAL for ages 2 to 4), help with finances, work or training, and advice around family challenges. Sensory rooms or spaces are listed at Early Days, First Start and Darnall Family Hubs and at three Community Network Sites, but Valley Park is not among the sites listed as having one; a Valley Park what's-on booklet is available as a PDF.
Family Hubs support parents and carers of children aged 0 to 19, with support offered up to age 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities. Free activities are specifically for children aged 0 to 5, and the Making it REAL programme is for parents and carers of children aged 2 to 4.
Early Years Prevention workers can visit families at home to help with children's behaviour, setting boundaries, getting support for children with additional needs, and access to housing and benefits advice. The page states sensory spaces can have a calming effect on children with additional needs and support relaxation, wellbeing and motor skill development. No further detail on staff SEN training or qualifications is given.
