Who do we support

Bringing a child into the world is the most precious gift but it can also be very hard. If you live in a Flying Start area and you have a child between the ages of 0-4 years old, you can benefit from a number of services to help you and your family. We are here to support you to give your child the best possible start in life.
Every child has a right to flourish and develop to their full potential. Flying Start provides intensive support services to 0-4 year old children and their families within specific areas of Torfaen. The programme aims to support families and make a difference to children in their earliest years of life.
