We run the Little Stars Family Hub, located on Preston Road. Here we can offer one-to-one advice and support on a broad range of childcare or health needs. Alongside this we have a Sensory Room available for hire, as well as running many group sessions to help support you, and connect you with other families in the local area.

Contact us on 01482 790277 and we can take some details from you. As Little Stars is part of Hull’s Early Help offer you can also make a request on the Council’s Website. 

Please be aware that every house in the city is linked to a local Family Hub – if Little Stars isn’t your nearest Hub, we can make sure you get support from another team.

We provide several group sessions every week for you and your child. From Splatter Chatter, our messy play session that includes singing and signing for babies up to 18 months, to Infant Massage, for babies 6 weeks to crawling age, we have a number of sessions to support your child’s development.

Our youth sessions are free to access, some free activities may require booking (due to limited spaces). A contribution may be needed towards any trips or residentials.

Our Little Stars sessions are £1 donation per session.

We have a Swap Shop at our Little Stars Family Hub on Preston Road. Simply bring any unwanted items of clothing and we can help you swap them for clothing items of your choosing. We also welcome any clothing donations you have.

Just let reception staff know you would like to use this Swap Shop and they’ll help you with this.

If you need any additional financial support please ask to speak to a Family Support worker who would be happy to help.

Sports activities are run at Eastmount Recreation Centre and Soccer Sensations. During the holidays you can also catch us at local playing fields and parks.

Youth Club Sessions normally take place at The Hut Youth Centre.

The best way to find out where sessions are happening and when is to get in touch.

As a registered charity we rely on the generosity of individuals, groups, and businesses to enable us to continuing to support families and children across Hull.

Whether you have clothes to donate to our swap shop, wish to donate money, want to run a fundraising event, or are a business leader looking to give back to the community – we have options for you.
