Annual Data Summary: Understanding our Community Overview This report brings together our annual data for 2025–2026, highlighting how families and children engage with our services across the community, alongside key trends in early years care and education. Overall, the data shows strong reach across the borough, with continued high registration rates and growing impact through targeted services such as Grow Wild, Baby Bank, and Early Years support. Reach and Engagement Registration across the borough remains a key strength, with 103% of children registered against the community population, exceeding local authority targets. While overall engagement reduced compared to the previous year, 13,488 children were still actively engaged in Family Hubs, delivered by our multi agency team. This represents 71% of registered children and 73% of the wider community. 9568 of these individuals used services delivered by our charity. This decrease reflects changes in delivery, including service redesign and contract changes impacting how new birth families are contacted and supported during 2025, rather than reduced need. Across neighbourhoods, patterns varied: Central saw the strongest growth in registrations South West experienced the largest decrease Engagement reduced across most areas, with some local variation Supporting Families and Target Groups The data shows positive progress in reaching families who are less likely to access support and services: Increased engagement with children with SEND and additional needs Improved reach to male lone carers and teenage parents Continued support for families experiencing vulnerability and disadvantage At the same time, there are areas for development, including: Lower engagement with some carers with disabilities Ongoing need to strengthen consistent engagement across all groups Early Years Care and Education Across our Early Years settings: The number of 0–4 year olds attending has increased, alongside a small rise in older children accessing provision There has been an increase in children identified with SEND Ethnic diversity remains strong, although the proportion of children from ethnic minority groups has slightly decreased Data also highlights changes linked to the 2025 Index of Multiple Deprivation update, which has altered how deprivation is measured across areas. Key Services Making an Impact Grow Wild Grow Wild continues to be one of the highest-impact programmes: 2,811 individuals and 1,279 families reached Significant increase in participation compared to the previous year Strong engagement through play-based, outdoor learning opportunities Baby Bank Support for families facing financial hardship has grown significantly: 628 individuals supported, up from 501 403 families received essential items Over 18,800 items distributed, including nappies, clothing, and toys Demand remains high, with strong links to food banks and wider support services. Early Years Social Prescribing 69 referrals received, with 495 support contacts delivered Increased engagement with families living in more deprived areas Strong partnership working to connect families to the support they need CoCo East and Community Programmes 534 individuals engaged through CoCo East activities Family play sessions, wellbeing support, and Grow Wild activities were key drivers of engagement Continued focus on building connection, confidence, and community Ready for School Lower overall reach, but significantly increased depth of engagement Average contact per child increased substantially, showing more intensive, targeted support Communities We Serve Across all services: The largest group engaged remains White British, followed by Other White, Pakistani, and mixed backgrounds Services continue to reach a diverse and changing community, with varying levels of engagement across different groups. Key Insight A clear message from this year’s data is that: Demand for support remains high, particularly for families experiencing financial pressure, SEND needs, and early years vulnerability. At the same time, there is strong evidence that: Targeted, relational services increase both reach and impact Programmes such as Grow Wild, Baby Bank, and integrated family support play a vital role in meeting community need Conclusion Despite changes in delivery and external factors, our services continue to reach a significant proportion of the local community and provide meaningful support to children and families. The focus moving forward will be to: Strengthen engagement across all communities Improve consistency of data and SEND identification Continue building joined-up, accessible services that respond to local need

Multi Agency Action Planning Working Together for Families November 2025 We regularly bring together partners from across the voluntary sector, health, early help, and local leadership to review data and agree actions that improve outcomes for children and families. Using a collaborative, data-informed approach, partners identify priorities and develop shared, practical actions, supported by tools such as our Blossoming Trees model. Working together, we identified key priorities across several areas: SEND families: improving early access to support, raising awareness of development, and strengthening joined-up pathways Child development: targeted outreach to children not reaching expected milestones and improving access to health and early support services Gender differences: adapting provision to better engage boys and support communication through play Demographics and access: improving data sharing, strengthening co-production, and making services more accessible to diverse communities Health: improving oral health through better access to services, education, and early support Financial resilience and poverty: strengthening links with community support, including food banks, budgeting support, adult education, and volunteering opportunities to reduce the impact of poverty on families. We are grateful to all partners who contribute to this work. Together, we are able to turn insight into coordinated action and strengthen support for our community.

Cloth Nappies Shining Nappy People As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and the well-being of the children in our care, we are transitioning to using mainly cloth nappies in both of our nurseries. We are also working on ways to support families to use cloth nappies at home through our community support groups and outreach work. Non-recylcable nappies 2.5 billion binned annually 90% end up in landfill 500yrs to break down 60%+ Plastic We believe that swapping non-recyclable nappies for resuable alternatives aligns perfectly with our mission to ‘build brighter futures’ and our core values, including ‘sustaining our planet, sustaining our community’. Why swap to cloth nappies? Cheaper over time Toilet training is often 6 months faster for babies when cloth nappies are used Switching could save you up to £1000 per child and have half the environmental impact! No harsh chemicals Non-recyclable nappies contain chemicals Well chosen c loth nappies can have fewer or even none This makes them healthier for a child’s delicate skin A better fit Cloth nappies provide an individualised fit, reducing the risk of leaks Plus, the soft fabric against the skin can be more comfortable Better for the planet Non-recyclable nappies take 500yrs to decompose in landfills Even eco-friendly alternatives take 50yrs Much of North London's nappy waste is also burned at the incinerator £70 Voucher Visit www.realnappiesforlondon.org.uk for helpful info. including explanations of different nappy types and info. on a voucher scheme worth up to £70 toward purchasing cloth nappies. Our local partners For over a year we've been lucky enough to be supported in our cloth nappy transition by three local organisations working tirelessly to promote cloth nappy use in Waltham Forest. Our heart-felt thanks go out to the 'Women's Environemental Network', 'Waltham Forest Cloth Nappy Library' and 'Nappy Ever After'! Check out their web and social media pages to find a wide range of cloth nappy resources and useful information.
