What happens in a child’s earliest years will affect the rest of their lives.  Babies and toddlers need nutrition, good health, safety and security, responsive care and early learning opportunities to support their growth and development.  Today families living in Aberdeen face more pressures than ever putting them at risk of crisis or breakdown.
