What is a Children's Centre?
Sure Start Children’s Centres are a government initiative that give multi-agency support to families with children under 5, including those expecting a baby. They offer a range of services including access to integrated childcare and education, health and family support, help with finding jobs and training, drop-in sessions and groups. Children’s Centres bring services closer to families and put them all in one area, so it’s easier for them to get the services, advice, help and information they need all in one go.
Children's Centres are being developed and rolled out across Sheffield in 3 phases so that every community will have access to Children’s Centre services by 2010.
