We are part of the Universal 0-19 Service for children in Peterborough. The Health Visiting Service is a universal health service for all children aged 0-5 years and their parents/carers. Working closely with the school nursing service for school-age children https://www.facebook.com/School-Nursing-Peterborough-CPFT-118072608891185/, we aim to optimise health and promote learning through well-being and inclusion. Our health visiting teams are comprised of Health Visitors and Nursery Nurses. We work closely together to help support families in the first five years (until school entry).

Nursery Nurses have the relevant qualifications and training in child health and development. They are also skilled at assessing child development and supporting families in a variety of different ways.
