From Pregnancy to Preschool: How Health Visiting Supports Your Family
Every Coventry family is offered support from our Health Visiting Service, beginning in pregnancy and continuing until your child starts school. Our Health Visitors are qualified nurses or midwives with specialist training in child development, family wellbeing, and public health.
We provide appointments at key stages — including antenatal visits, new birth reviews, 6–8 week checks, 9–12 month and 2–2½ year developmental reviews. These sessions are an opportunity to discuss your child’s growth, sleep, feeding, and any family concerns.
Our Health Visitors also work alongside Community Nursery Nurses, Infant Feeding Specialists, and Family Hubs to deliver joined-up support for families across Coventry.
“We’re here to give every child the best possible start in life,” says one of our Clinical Leads.
