For the second and third phases of our project we plan to create centres across the borough so that by 2010 there will be a centre in every community. We are developing children's centres from existing servies such as neighbourhood nurseries, early excellence centres and Sure Start local programmes. Where services are not delivered on one site, they are within easy reach and offered at times convenient for working parents.

Facilities offered in our children's centres include: 

  • Early education integrated with daycare suitable for working families; open a minimum of ten hours per day, five days per week, 48 weeks per year for babies and children up to school age. This includes support for childminders and early identification of children with special educational needs/disabilities and inclusive services to meet their needs
  • Family support and outreach, including visits to families within two months of a new birth, parenting support and information and advice on childcare and child development
  • Child and family health services including antenatal advice, as well as advice and support on stopping smoking, hygiene, nutrition and safety
  • Links with schools and children's information services
  • Links with Jobcentre Plus
