Nest Parenting Group

Our Nest group at Home-Start Erewash is a supportive six-week programme designed to promote Perinatal and Infant Mental Health (PIMH) for parents and carers with children aged 0–2 years.

Held once a week, each session explores topics that help strengthen the parent-child relationship, including emotions, attachment, communication, and relationships. Alongside these discussions, families take part in a variety of fun, interactive activities that encourage bonding, build confidence, and support children’s early development

Nest provides a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental environment where parents can share experiences and learn new skills. By connecting with others who may be facing similar challenges, parents can reduce feelings of isolation, build supportive relationships, and grow in confidence.

Above all, Nest is about enjoying quality time together, strengthening the bond between parent and child, and creating positive experiences that will last beyond the programme.
