Best Start Family Hubs
Bexley Council is establishing Best Start Family Hubs, with one live and full rollout planned by March 2027.
Bexley Council is currently establishing Best Start Family Hubs across the borough, designed to offer accessible, community-based support for families. The Erith Best Start Family Hub is already operational, with plans progressing for three additional hubs, with the full rollout of all four hubs projected to be completed by March 2027, as reported in July 2026.
These hubs, which aim to offer integrated support to families from pregnancy up to the age of 19 (or 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities), are part of Bexley's wider transformation of children's services and the Families First programme. The Children's Services and Education Overview and Scrutiny Committee discussed updates on the Best Start in Life programme in June 2026. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss this topic.
