Families

All our services have been created with Blackpool parents, for Blackpool parents. These include parenting classes, stay and play groups, cost of living events and getting ready for school sessions. All activities are free and take place in the Family Hubs, in parks, libraries and other venues across the town. Come along to help your child’s learning and meet other Blackpool families.

Workforce

Blackpool Better Start delivers a variety of free learning, training and conference opportunities for anyone working with pregnant women and families with children aged 0-4 years in Blackpool. We work with international, early-years experts and want to embed this knowledge within the local workforce to improve outcomes for families across the town.
