Cloth Nappies Shining Nappy People As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and the well-being of the children in our care, we are transitioning to using mainly cloth nappies in both of our nurseries. We are also working on ways to support families to use cloth nappies at home through our community support groups and outreach work. Non-recylcable nappies 2.5 billion binned annually 90% end up in landfill 500yrs to break down 60%+ Plastic We believe that swapping non-recyclable nappies for resuable alternatives aligns perfectly with our mission to ‘build brighter futures’ and our core values, including ‘sustaining our planet, sustaining our community’. Why swap to cloth nappies? Cheaper over time Toilet training is often 6 months faster for babies when cloth nappies are used Switching could save you up to £1000 per child and have half the environmental impact! No harsh chemicals Non-recyclable nappies contain chemicals Well chosen c loth nappies can have fewer or even none This makes them healthier for a child’s delicate skin A better fit Cloth nappies provide an individualised fit, reducing the risk of leaks Plus, the soft fabric against the skin can be more comfortable Better for the planet Non-recyclable nappies take 500yrs to decompose in landfills Even eco-friendly alternatives take 50yrs Much of North London's nappy waste is also burned at the incinerator £70 Voucher Visit www.realnappiesforlondon.org.uk for helpful info. including explanations of different nappy types and info. on a voucher scheme worth up to £70 toward purchasing cloth nappies. Our local partners For over a year we've been lucky enough to be supported in our cloth nappy transition by three local organisations working tirelessly to promote cloth nappy use in Waltham Forest. Our heart-felt thanks go out to the 'Women's Environemental Network', 'Waltham Forest Cloth Nappy Library' and 'Nappy Ever After'!

Somewhere to Belong Somewhere to Belong: Early Intervention (0–3) Research Summary Zoë Wells – Specialist Early Years Researcher (2019) Whitefield Academy Trust / Lloyd Park Children’s Charity Overview This research, led by Zoë Wells, explores how early intervention services can better support babies and young children (0–3) with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), alongside their families. Drawing on parent experiences, professional insight, and local service analysis, the study identifies what effective early intervention looks like and how services can be improved to better meet family needs. Key Learning A consistent theme throughout the research is the importance of relationships. Families value support that is compassionate, non-judgemental, and built on trust. Professionals who take time to listen and respond to the whole family, not just the child, are seen as making the greatest difference. The research also highlights the need for joined-up support. Many families described systems as fragmented and difficult to navigate. Services work best when professionals communicate effectively and families do not need to repeat their story multiple times. Central to the findings is the idea of providing families with“somewhere to belong.” Parents spoke about the importance of safe, welcoming spaces where they can access specialist support, connect with others, and begin to build confidence. These environments often act as a starting point, helping families feel ready to engage more widely.Early intervention was found to be most effective when it is timely, flexible, and tailored. Approaches that combine home-based support with centre-based provision, and respond to each family’s individual circumstances, are particularly valuable.Importantly, the research emphasises that early intervention must support the whole family. Strengthening parental confidence, wellbeing, and resilience is key to improving outcomes for children. Gaps in Provision Despite examples of effective practice, the research identifies ongoing challenges. Families often experience limited coordination between services, unclear pathways, and reduced access to early, home-based support. There are also fewer opportunities for peer support and specialist provision, particularly for children under two. Proposed Approach In response, the research proposes a 0–3 SEND Hub model based on relationship-led, family-centred practice. This includes multi-agency working, a keyworker approach, and access to play-based, strengths-focused support within a coordinated programme. Why This Matters The first three years of life are critical for development and long-term outcomes. Effective early intervention can improve children’s wellbeing, strengthen families, and reduce the need for later, more intensive support. Conclusion This research, led by Zoë Wells, highlights the importance of early, joined-up, and relationship-based support for children with SEND and their families.At its heart is a simple but powerful message: Families need somewhere to belong—a place where they feel supported, understood, and able to move forward with confidence.
