Routines Week - Lewisham Children & Family Centre

Hello I’m Donna one of the Early Years Practitioners at our Children and Family Centre’s and I would like to say to all our families and friends that we hope you are all staying safe, healthy and emotionally resilient during these uncertain and challenging times.
Each week we have being looking at ways to stay in touch with you via our Facebook page and website, bringing you activities and information so that we all feel connected.

You may have found your usual routines being disrupted, however, it is still important for us all to keep to some sort of daily and family routine.
Having a daily routine helps us and our family stay healthy and emotionally resilient. Routine is especially important for children to give their day some structure, being without their normal routine can be unsettling for them.

Your new family routine can be very simple, get your children to help make one, things like allowing them to choose the activity when you have family time or what time you read a story together. Keeping it simple will make it easy for all the family to follow.
You can find more information on Routines and how they help us, our family and our children on our Facebook page and we will round up all the activities on the Routines Activities website page.

“My child and I have really enjoyed coming to Little Explorers. It has helped my child to get used to see other babies and have interaction with them, which has been really important for him after the pandemic.”

“It's absolutely fab to be able to have access to all of the Domestic Abuse services in one place and to just click on a link to get to the website.”

“The Children Centre is our favourite place to come, we have been coming here since my child was 6 months old, he is now 4 years old and is still enjoying! Well done staff”

“I have just found the ‘taking care of ourselves’ section, which is massively important for us all, especially compassion fatigue.”

“The help and support that my family support worker gave me was above and beyond, she was always there to listen to me and make me feel like I was good enough and I was being heard.”

“The Outreach Team have such outgoing, friendly and fun personalities and made each Outdoor Learning session a great experience.”

“The Explorers session has helped my child a lot with his communication and his development. It’s really been impactful for him; we are really grateful to have this opportunity to attend the session and meet other parents as well.”

“The sessions help my daughter with speaking English, as well as helping her to listen and follow directions. I am very happy, my baby is very happy, and I feel relief when I come.”

“The Children Centre is very beneficial for my child, she has developed lots of skills e.g., sharing toys and naming colours. Also, the staff are very friendly and helpful.”
