About our Centre
What is a children's centre?
Sure Start Children’s Centres are places where children under 5 years old and their families can receive seamless integrated services and information, and where they can access help from multi-disciplinary teams of professionals.
The Government is committed to delivering a Sure Start Children’s Centre for every community by 2010.
These Centres are at the heart of the Government’s strategy to deliver better outcomes for children and families, building on successes of Sure Start local programmes, early excellence centres and neighbourhood nurseries and mainstreaming the lessons learned to extend the benefits to all families.
They are also a vital part of the Government’s 10 year childcare strategy to enable all families with children to have access to an affordable, flexible, high quality childcare place for their child
What Ofsted have said...
The latest Ofsted report on the impact of services provided by Sure Start Children's Centres and extended schools issued in January 2008.
'Schools and Children's Centres served children and families very effectively, once they were there'
Overall the report showed that the children's centres inspected were providing a good or better service.
This is really good news for everyone currently working in Children's Centres delivering the services required and in establishing of high quality childcare provision within areas of where the need for services is high.
