What are Children's Centres?
Sure Start Children's Centres are places that provide
information and services for families with young children aged from
birth to five years in the local community and are great places to
meet new people.
Sure Start is the government'sprogramme to support young
children and families. The establishment of multi-agency Sure Start
Children's Centres brings together early learning, health and
family support. They actively support parents in their aspirations
towards employment, education and training.
The Sure Start approach ensures that every child gets the best
possible start in life and helps parents choose with confidence how
they balance their work and family commitments.
