Our Health Visiting teams are led by specially trained nurses and midwives. We help families with children from pregnancy until the child turns five. The service offers:

• Screening tests and developmental reviews
• Immunisations for babies and young children
• Parenting advice and support
• Two‑year development reviews

Who can use it? All families living in Bracknell Forest, Wokingham, Reading, and West Berkshire can access the service – no referral is needed. If you live in Slough or Windsor & Maidenhead, you’ll need to contact the local health services there.
