About this cause

We deliver Daycare for funded children aged 2 years through to their entry into primary school education. Building strong family and community links for families who live across ward areas of South Barnsley which fall into areas of high deprivation and significant need, we support these parents in developing self confidence, self esteem and re engaging with learning to foster a supportive healthy home / nursery partnership. These partnerships help families to make healthier lifestyle choices in the daily mealtime routines, healthy meals, budget and money management all contributing to positive outcomes for families and healthy nurtured children who have the opportunity to thrive whilst in education.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Families with greater self confidence will participate in community life contributing to wider social capital through positive healthier eating, healthy food choices, awareness and consumption of fruit and vegetables, reducing salt, sugar and saturated fats in their diet, all contributing to helping to reduce the local and national growing trend of childhood obesity and poor oral health.
