Children’s Centre
Sure Start Children’s Centres are places where children under 5 years old and their families can receive seamless holistic integrated services and information, and where they can access help from multi-disciplinary teams of professionals.
- good quality early learning combined with full day care provision for children (minimum 10 hours a day, 5 days a week,48 weeks a year)
- good quality teacher input to lead the development of learning within the centre
- child and family health services, including ante-natal services
- parental outreach
- family support services
- a base for a childminder network
- support for children and parents with special needs
- effective links with Jobcentre Plus to support parents/carers who wish to consider training or employment.
The building itself is now finished and will open in March/early April. Services working with the Children's Centre will be arranging programmes of opportunities for parents with young children in the coming weeks.
Looking at the building now it is strange to think back to just how it was constructed. Below are photgraphs taken on the day the 6 units were lifted into place last August.
