The Early Parenting Support (EPS) Service is an innovative and exciting service supporting young families during the early infant period.
With increasingly short stays in hospital, many new parents feel like they have little idea of what to do, what to expect and what to feel, when they get home with their new baby. For many, there is little family support, or it is too far away, and community resources can be difficult to access or are too stretched to provide quick and effective assistance.
At NEST, we are lucky to have staff with Midwifery and Maternal and Child Health Nurse qualifications and experience allowing us to offer an Early Parenting Support Service where an experienced Nurse can visit your home and provides a range of services tailored to the needs of your family, such as:
* Monitoring child's growth
* Monitoring child's development
* Dealing with parenting concerns
* Provision of play and learning ideas
* Connecting and communicating with your child
* Education around issues that have arisen with a Doctor or Maternal and Child Health Nurse
