Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs 

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential. 

You can still access our services online and you can call us on 020 7527 2000 if you need to speak to someone.

Toddlers

As your child develops from a baby to a toddler, find out about all the local and national support on offer.

As your child develops towards talking and being more active, these are our resources and activities to help you.

You might also want to find out about free early learning for 2, 3 and 4 year olds and childcare if you are working or studying.

Why not drop into your local children’s centre or family hub to meet other families and take part in stay and play or other fun activities. You can also get support from your health visitor if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s development.
