Creswick Children's Centre

What is a Children's Centre?

Children’s Centres are being developed so that children aged 0-5 years and their families and carers can benefit from a range of professional services, activities and support, in a convenient location.

Some of the services will be at different venues, but normally within the local community.

A Children’s Centre is a ‘One Stop Shop’ for information, advice and services.

It provides:

• Stay and Play drop-in groups for parents/carers and grandparents
• Information about childcare services in the local area
• Information for Childminders
• Advice on Family Health from Health Visitors and other visiting professionals
• Positive Beginnings - a drop-in session twice a week for children aged 0-5 years and their carers, to experience positive play in a stimulating environment
• Advice and support from Jobcentre Plus
• Courses, training and family learning - something for everyone
• Support and advice for families and children with additional needs
