Home-Start Cheshire provides emotional and practical support to families who need our help. We are applying for funding to provide young children aged 0 - 5 years with play equipment and creative materials to help keep them entertained and stimulated during the Covid-19 restrictions. The grant funding will enable our Coordinators to source and deliver equipment such as hoola hoops, balls, skipping ropes, board games, jigsaws, playing cards, seeds for planting, craft materials including coloured pencils and paper, books and specialist play equipment for children with additional needs. Many of our children come from disadvantaged backgrounds where financial hardship and the low life skills of their parents limits their access to having play equipment in their own homes. We have real concerns that many of our children will be under stimulated because of this and the parents' opportunities to engage with their children may feel very limited and therefore maybe even prevent positive interactions. We see the fortnightly delivery of creative materials, games and physical play equipment as being an essential support service to our families during the coronavirus isolation period, enabling stimulating and enjoyable play which will in turn create happy bonding opportunities between parent and child/children.

Using digital word pedometers and home visits by volunteer coaches to close the 30 million word gap and improve language acquisition for disadvantaged kids.HomeStart UK is introducing this US toddler tech programme to the UK, which uses wearable word pedometers to measure the number of words a child hears and speaks, conversational turn taking, and exposure to electronic media. For disadvantaged families with a child between 3-30 months old, the UK LENA Home programme uses trained volunteer word coaches (rather than a professional in the US model) who visit each family on a regular basis 14 times over a 3-4 month period.
