Children's Centres are being developed nationally in response to the government's commitment to provide:
- the best start in life for every child
- better opportunities for parents
- affordable, good quality childcare
- safer, stronger communities
Children's Centres are community based and provide services for children, parents and carers, and families across the Borough, which include:
- early education integrated with childcare for 0-5 years, and possibly older
- family support and outreach to parents
- child and family health services
- links to childminders
- links to other providers, Jobcentre Plus and Childcare Information Service
- links to schools, further education and higher education.
The above services are known as the Core Offer.
In addition to the Core Offer, some centres may also provide:
- citizens' advice, financial advice/debt management, teenage pregnancy groups
- parents, carers, and toddler groups
- baby massage
- access to information and ICT facilities
- swift and easy referral to other partners.
