Family Health & Wellbeing
Your family’s wellbeing matters—and we’re here to support you every step of the way. At the Spelthorne Family Centres, we offer guidance and activities that promote physical, emotional, and mental health for parents, carers, and children alike. From support with sleep, nutrition, and behaviour to building confidence and reducing stress, we’re here to help you create a healthy, balanced environment where everyone can flourish.

Breastfeeding and Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding gives your baby all the nutrients he or she needs for the first six months of life and beyond. It helps to protect your baby from infection and other diseases and, as a mum, it helps to reduce your chances of illness later in life. Breastfeeding also helps you and your baby to get closer physically and emotionally – helping the bond between you to grow stronger.
The Stanwell Family Centre was accredited the UNICEF Baby Friendly Award in 2016 and Clarendon Family Centre offers a regular Drop In Breastfeeding Café (hyperlink to events page). You are welcome to breastfeed in the centres and we can provide a private comfortable space for you to breastfeed your child if you would like.
