WHAT ARE CHILDREN'S CENTRES?

Children’s centres are designed for families with children, from conception to under five years. They provide services including advice and guidance, integrated education and care, parent and toddler drop-in groups, family learning, family support, health services and links to employment/training.  The programme of activities broadly focuses on four main objectives:

• parenting skills
• school readiness for children
• work readiness for parents
• child and family health

Hammersmith & Fulham Children’s Centres

In July 2011 Hammersmith & Fulham reconfigured children’s centres as part of the family support programme to bring together a wide range of support services to target families who need the most help.  We moved to a hub, spoke and satellite model and expanded the number of centres from 15 to 16 sites.  This ensures a full geographical network of centres across the borough.

What do centres deliver?

A hub centre provides a universal offer such as under 5s drop in groups, but focuses on preventative and early intervention services for vulnerable families.

Spokes and satellites deliver the universal offer of under 5s drop in groups, as well as providing space for targeted employment courses and sessions delivered by hubs and other partners.  A spoke children's centre is directly linked to a geographic hub whereas a children's centre satellite is independent and not linked to a local hub.
