About Us

Nourish & Nurture is a community-based initiative that supports families across Doncaster from pregnancy to early childhood.
‍
Delivered by Primary Care Dietitians on behalf of Doncaster Council, it’s part of Doncaster’s Compassionate Approach to Weight - focusing on healthy habits, not numbers on a scale.

‍We help families build confidence with feeding, explore positive body image, and create lasting routines that make mealtimes peaceful and enjoyable.

Support that stays with you - Families can text or call our team directly for feeding and nutrition advice whenever they need it. It's like having a midwife or child nutritionist in your pocket.

What Families Say

Hear from the families who've been through our sessions.

I came away feeling really positive. We continued chatting about how much we enjoy talking about food and eating habits.

I think it was great and I've recommended it to all the pregnant people I know!

It was a lovely session, she loved trying the different foods!

I'm starting to feel a bit more confident and comfortable. The support is amazing. I appreciate it a lot.

I'm proud that I haven't quit breastfeeding. I would have if it wasn't for you and all your support. Thanks so much.

Really helped my confidence in giving her more mashed up food instead of puree - she's enjoying some baby beans and mini jacket potato!
