Sibling support service

Supporting your children through a difficult period is at the very heart of our support from the team at Noah’s Star. Allowing you as carers and parents to spend time in the neonatal unit with your baby or hospital with your child.

We can provide supervised play for your children with our own fully trained sibling support volunteers, this will give you a piece of mind, and a welcome distraction for any siblings, allowing you some additional time with your baby or child.
