Home-Start Watford and Three Rivers

We are a community-based charity with 30 years’ experience of supporting local families with children under the age of 5 as these early years shape an entire life and they go by in a flash.  By offering parents the support and guidance they need when their children are young, we can prevent crisis and ensure their children have the best possible start in life.  Our aim is to safeguard, protect and preserve the good physical and mental health of children and their parents. 

During our 30 years, we have supported over 7,000 children and over 3,000 families with compassionate, emotional and practical support to make sure the earliest years count, so no child's future is limited. 

We intervene early helping parents to improve their parenting skills, increase confidence and resilience and connect with the support available in their local community.
