Kirsty Wheeler-Smith

My name is Kirsty and I am the Family Support Worker within Watton children’s  centre. You may see me in the children’s centre or at some of the Community Outreach sessions. I am currently making every effort to spend some time attending sessions to meet parents and children. If you do see me please feel free to come and have a chat.
I previously worked within a Nursery School and have a young child of my own so know only to well the challenges we all face as parents when raising our children and the pressures of everyday life that we all endure. Within my role I support families on a range of issues including establishing routines, advising on behavioural issues, providing advice on benefits and supporting parents to access a range of different services.

Please be assured that everything we discuss is private and confidential.

If you feel you could benefit from speaking with me please feel free to contact me at the centre, send me a text or e mail and we can arrange a time for me to make a home visit or for you to come into the centre to discuss the support available.

I look forward to meeting you
