We also work with Private, Voluntary and Independent nurseries and Islington School nurseries, with children with Priority Early Learning places. For more information visit Bright Start Islington https://www.islington.gov.uk/children-and-families/childrens-centres-and-under-5s
We offer up to 5 sessions of assessment and support to young parents and children, if there are concerns about a child’s emotional well-being, behaviour or development.

- Appointments
We can talk through your concerns and come up with ideas to support your child and family. This might be a one-off meeting to discuss your concerns, which helps you to get back on track, or that links you with other useful services. Alternatively, it may lead to some more appointments.
We will try to meet you at a children’s centre near you or can meet you remotely.
Sometimes we may decide with you that a different service or another part of Islington CAMHS would be helpful for your child or family. - Workshops
We run workshops for parents, in the community, to help deal with common challenges in early childhood, such as:
- Sleep (under 1s)
- Feeding/Eating
- Behaviour
- Building positive relationships
- Toilet training.
These workshops are advertised and booked through Bright Start Islington in Children’s Centres and via the Family Information Service fis@islington.gov.uk.
- Consultation and Training
We also offer consultation and training for nursery workers and Bright Start Islington staff, to support their work with children under 5 and their families.
- How to refer
You can speak with your Health Visitor, Midwife, GP or someone from your nursery or local children’s centre. They will get in touch with us to discuss whether we are the right service for you. Or you can discuss a referral on 020 3316 1824.
We work across the borough so will try to meet with you at a location that is most convenient to you.
