Children’s centres
Children’s centres are local community centres which support babies, pre-school children and their families.
Centres offer a range of early intervention services, such as:
- Support for mums, dads and carers
- Help getting jobs and training
- Health services
- Daycare and activities for babies and toddlers
Each centre offers different services, including:
- childcare
- early education

- antenatal classes
- baby clinics
- support with breastfeeding,
- support with parenting and speech and language
- drop-in sessions for parents and children
- services for children with special needs and disabilities (we also have specialist centres for disabled children)
