Places to visit with children

What are they?

The overall purpose of a Children’s Centre is to offer a place where children 0-5 years old and their families can have access to services and information. They tailor their services to respond to local need and help children and their families reach their full potential.

Centres provide drop in sessions for parents and careers which offer inclusive, accessible and child-friendly services and some offer childcare.
