IS001 | North Holderness Health Visiting

“ We feel so lucky to have been assigned our babies health visitor. She is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and accommodating. She made us feel at ease and our baby feel at ease. Provided us
with lots of advice and reassurance and couldn't ask for anything more from her. ”

“ Health Visitor has been brilliant, provided knowledge, advice and showed me and my little one such great care. I felt I could speak freely without judgement, ask all my questions without feeling silly and I feel very supported in the care I’ve received. ”

“ Thankyou for listening to me and giving advice it helped a lot - thank you note to the school nurse from a pupil. ”

“ Every little trouble – she’s been there with us. She’s seen me though my flat with mould, living with my dad, being in temporary accommodation and now at this flat. I can’t believe it’s been nearly 3 years. I’ll be frank, it’s quite emotional that she’s leaving us. ”
