Friendly Welcoming Places
There is a network of Children’s Centres across the Borough offering support and advice to families with young children aged 0-5 so if you have concerns about sleep patterns, behaviour, breastfeeding or anything else there will be somebody to talk to.
You can get help and advice during and after your pregnancy right through to when your child is preparing to start school, as well as meeting and talking to other mums and dads. Children’s Centres offer a range of services, from meeting with a midwife/health visitor, advice on breastfeeding, support and advice on parenting, baby massage classes and support for developing healthy lifestyles.
Each centre will provide a range of services depending on local need and parental choice so not all centres will be the same. They are a good place to meet and talk to the services that you need, as well as to meet other parents/carers and find out what else is happening in your community.
If you are looking to return to training or work there will be links with Jobcentre Plus and the Local College. There will be activities and training available for parents who want to learn new skills and meet others.
Children’s Centres are about making sure that it is as easy as possible for you to get the help and advice you need from services, close to home, and when you need them - come and find out for yourself!
