Best Start in Life (BSiL) Children's Centres

Newham's Children's Centres offer a range of services to help give your child the best start in life. You can register for free if you are a Newham resident with a child under 5 (including if you're pregnant).

Register with our Children's Centres

You can register online using the Family Registration form here.

Childminders who live in Newham, or who look after a Newham child, can access children’s centre space to deliver their own childminder network sessions (please talk to your local children’s centre). Childminders can register by using the online Childminder Registration ' form.

Get support from a Family Support Worker

If you would like support from a Family Support Worker, you can make a self-referral online via our MASH portal or speak to your local children’s centre and ask them to complete a referral for you.  If you are a professional who would like to refer a family, please use the MASH referral form. If you’re a Newham Children’s Social Worker looking to stepdown a case, please contact Deborah Reid in the Early Help Hub for a case consultation.
