The Family Mentor service has been vastly scaled down and will now only continue through the Health Inequalities and Innovation Fund made possible by the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board. 

Toy Library and Homestart Nottingham will be continuing a targeted programme of Small Steps at Home across Nottingham for families with little ones up to 12 months.
