The Early Years Bridge
‘Bridging the gap. Building the village’
Connecting parents to trusted support and services throughout their child’s early years.
We support parents and their children from birth through the start of primary school.
Find Your Village
Our professionals are here to help and feel more like your village rather than outsiders. We bring together people from the early years sector as well as freelancers and specialists who offer services to young children or parents. We source people who are passionate about what they do and genuinely care! So whether you need a special needs tutor, child development advice or are just trying to find your local playgroup, we are here to help.
Childcare, Education & Learning
Tutors, reading support, phonics specialists, SENCO’s, childminders, nurseries, and educational psychologists ready to support your child’s learning journey.
Health & Wellbeing
Feeding, weaning and nutrition. Postpartum support, women’s health, doulas, lactation consultants, health visitors, mothers help, mental health and more. Ready to support at every stage.
Therapists & Specialists
Speech therapists, play therapists, behaviour specialists, child psychologists, early years practitioners with a wealth of experience.
Simple. Connected. Supportive.
How It Works
No long referrals. No waiting lists. Find the support your child needs and connect directly — at your own pace.
Filter by specialism, location, or the type of support your child needs — from speech therapy to nutritional guidance.
Reach out to the professionals or service you choose — no third-party gatekeeping. Our platform connects you directly with people who have a passion for children and expertise in their field.
Depending on the professional, you can gain support in the form of advice, advocacy, and sometimes direct services. No parent should feel alone in these crucial early years.
The Early Years Bridge was founded by a parent who is also a professional in early years education and understands the challenges of parenting. At Early Years Bridge ,we are both child centred and parent focused meaning we have children and parents best interest at heart. We recognise that the early years are not just the start of life, they are the foundation of everything we become. We aim to keep you in the loop about all things child development and early years — including school readiness, early years jargon explained, news and updates that may affect you and your child.

Not looking for a professional but looking for community?
Support doesn’t just come from a professional, sometimes it is found in community. Check out our ‘Find Community’ section of the directory where you can find local parent and toddler classes, dad groups, mummy meet ups and more!
To chat with other parents online check out the Parent Hub forums. If you are a parent member, you can also advertise your own business with us. Think of it as a networking hub for parents.
