Information for referrers

Has a baby been born? Please register the baby with us within 3 days of birth. This allows us to perform the heel prick and hearing test on time. Both parents and healthcare professionals can report a birth. The parent will receive an email containing the scheduled date and time no later than 1 working day before our visit.

Are you concerned about a child's behavior or development? Then you can request an observation or Video Home Training. Together, we will assess what is needed and which support best suits the situation.

Due to various circumstances in the private situation, some parents are vulnerable. We can provide these parents with more intensive guidance with home visits. This can involve a few home visits during pregnancy. But we also have more intensive programs. In these programs, we guide the parents with home visits until the child is 2 years old. Request a prenatal home visit directly via this link. Or read more via the button below.

Sometimes children's nutrition requires a little more attention. For example, if they are overweight. Or underweight. Or if the child has food allergies. Our pediatric dietician will look together with the parents at what a healthy diet can be for the child.

The lactation consultant helps parents with breastfeeding. With a workshop they prepare parents for breastfeeding. And they are there when breastfeeding does not go smoothly. 

Toddler consultants help parents of toddlers who have a Preschool and Early School Education (VVE) referral. We explain why preschool and language development are important. We help with finding a suitable preschool and registration. We also make contact with important partners. In this way, we want to reach more parents and children. We work together with, for example, Mama café, Voorleesexpres, Inwonersondersteuning Roosendaal and In- en Opstapje.

Our toddler consultants can be reached via email address: toddler consultantsroosendaal@twb.nl

The first 1000 days are crucial for a child's health. The Kansrijke Start care pathway tool helps maternity care professionals in West Brabant quickly find appropriate support. The tool clearly shows care pathways and referral information for each municipality. For example, it provides support for mental health, substance abuse, home safety, and financial assistance.
