Home-Start Harwich

Home-Start Harwich Home-Start is a voluntary organisation offering practical & emotional support to families with childr The Harwich scheme has been established since 1996.

We visit families in their own homes where the dignity & identity of each individual can be respected and protected. We can reassure parents that the difficulties in bringing up children are not unusual & we encourage them to enjoy family life. Volunteers & outreach workers develop a good relationship & trust with the parents encouraging parents' strengths & emotional wellbeing for the ultimate be

nefit of their children, also encouraging families to widen their network of relationships & to use effectively the support & services available in the community.

Safety week at Bobbits Outdoor Explorers, focused on the people that help us, water safety, and using scissors.
A very chilled session in the sun helped by a little stone decorating. Mud kitchen is always a hit and some singing to end the day 👮🏾‍♀️👩🏾‍🚒✂️💚

For today's activity, how about setting up a pretend ice cream shop or cafe? You and your child can take turns serving one another and pretending to pay! This is a great way to support building sentences and using new vocabulary such as different flavours, colours and quantities. It will also support building social communication as you are practicing greetings and making requests. Follow this link from our website for more top tips on role play: https://www.tlc-essex.info/resource/play-and-language-role-play/

Lovely Wild Wednesday- the rain held off for the children as we looked for Mr Giants keys and boots. Safety week so we focused on using tools. Messy bubbles to blow, bubble pictures, and an ice cream stall which the children loved getting messy! 🗝️ 🫧🍨x

What a wonderful group of people to share our day with. Thank you to these amazing volunteers that help keep our charity going. Volunteer week gives us the chance to express this gratitude. Today we visited The Bread and Roses Barge in St Osyth and with the help of the baker, Gemma, we made shortbread, cheese scones and fruit scones, then we shared them warm for our lunch. Thanks to Jane and Gemma at the barge for making this such a special day, we all had a great time 😊
