Parents and carers of children in Leicester City are now able to access additional free support to help develop their child’s speech, language and communication skills through the EasyPeasy app, thanks to a collaboration between the app developers, Leicester City Council and Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.
Families, early years providers and local partners will have free access to the EasyPeasy app across the project timeline, which provides access to tips, advice and activities from early years experts, partners and other parents and carers.
The app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once you have completed your registration, a premium subscription will be automatically activated.

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust runs a confidential secure text messaging service for parents of children aged 0-19 years called Chat Health. The service operates Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, excluding bank holidays. All texts will be responded to by a public health nurse (health visitor/school nurse) within 24 hours. Outside of the service working hours, you’ll receive a message back to inform you that your text will be responded to once the line reopens.
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust runs the Healthy Together Helpline for parents and carers in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The Helpline’s qualified health and administrative professionals offer easy to access, safe and free advice, support and signposting. Calls are answered from 9am – 4.30pm on weekdays, excluding bank holidays. Calls are charged at the same rate as calling a standard landline number.
Should you require urgent health advice in the meantime, please contact your GP, visit an NHS walk-in centre or call NHS 111. For emergencies, dial 999 or visit A&E.
