We are celebrating childminding week by doing a fundraising event for Midlothian Sure Start.

We will do a Nature Walk around Vogrie Country Park and then finish up with a small fun day / sports day before a picnic lunch.

Midlothian Sure Start works with families with young children in Midlothian to build "Best Beginnings". Our services are offered through 6 family Learning Centres and on an outreach basis including in local
primary schools. We deliver a range of free universal services to families with young babies like our “A Good Start” and Dads-2BE in addition to early learning and childcare, parenting courses, family learning activities, therapeutic interventions and family support. We worked with 301 children, 4 males and 408 female carers in the last year. Around a quarter to half of families have
struggled financially.
