About Nurturing Family
Our Mission
Nurturing Family Connections UK Ltd is a nationwide service dedicated to supporting families through safe, nurturing, and meaningful contact experiences. We provide supervised, supported, and indirect contact between children and their families in a secure yet positive environment.
Our approach re-imagines the traditional contact model by delivering community-based family contact. Rather than restricting contact to sterile rooms, we enable families to meet in natural, everyday settings — parks, cafés, play centres, and similar — while maintaining the highest safeguarding standards. For families requiring additional structure or risk management, centre-based contact remains available.
Our mission is to safeguard children, strengthen families, and restore positive connections by combining professional supervision with a warm, child-centred ethos.
About Nurturing Family Connections UK Ltd
Supervised Contact
A safe, supportive space for positive family time
Our Supervised Contact sessions provide a nurturing, neutral environment where children can spend quality time with their parents or family members under the guidance of a trained supervisor.
We offer both centre-based and community-based visits, allowing families to connect in a setting that best meets their needs — whether that’s within our calm, family-friendly contact centre or out in the community at an agreed-upon location such as a park or café.
We focus on safety, emotional wellbeing, and encouraging healthy interactions that support each child’s sense of security and connection.
Detailed, objective notes are provided to support transparency and help families move forward in a positive direction.
Supported Contact
Gentle guidance for growing family confidence
Supported Contact offers a more relaxed setting for families who no longer require full supervision but may still benefit from a little help during visits.
Available as both centre-based and community-based sessions, this service gives families the flexibility to spend time together in a comfortable, familiar environment.
Our team provides light monitoring and gentle assistance, helping to ease communication and transitions while ensuring a positive experience for everyone involved.
It’s a step toward independence and rebuilding trust — one visit at a time.
Third Party Handover
Peaceful transitions for children and parents
Our Third-Party Handover service offers a neutral and structured environment for children to move safely between parents or caregivers.
We provide centre-based and community-based handovers to accommodate families’ varying needs — ensuring transitions are handled smoothly, respectfully, and without direct contact between adults.
By managing handovers in a calm, neutral space, we help reduce conflict and stress, allowing children to feel comfortable and cared for during each transition.
Our staff are attentive, professional, and focused on maintaining a smooth, child-centred process every time.
Non Direct Contact
Connecting families with care and respect
Our Non-Direct Communication service allows parents and children to maintain meaningful contact when face-to-face visits aren’t possible or appropriate.
We facilitate the safe exchange of messages, letters, photos, or other approved forms of communication in a way that protects privacy and emotional wellbeing.
This service helps preserve important family bonds, ensuring children continue to feel valued, supported, and connected — even from a distance.
