ATTENDANCE AT OUR SESSIONS - Currently Ebury families will be guaranteed a space at our regular Stay & Play sessions (Busy Beanstalks, Little Sprouts, Baby Buds and Jumping Beans). There will be a limited number of spaces available for families from outside our area, who must telephone the previous day between 9:30 am and 2:30 pm (Tel:01923 255054) to let us know that they would like to attend. We will call back after 2:30 pm to let families know whether we have been able to allocate a space. Depending on demand, it is possible that families from outside our area may not be able to attend every week.This system is in place to ensure a fair allocation of spaces to all non-Ebury families who wish to attend our sessions.

Our Area
Ebury Children’s Centre covers a large and varied area of Hertfordshire which includes the Batchworth Area of Rickmansworth, Moor Park, Oxhey Hall, The Highlands, The Rookery, Eastbury Farm, Hayling Ward of South Oxhey and the Northwood Headquarters Community. Services are delivered from a range of venues across the area to ensure that they are accessible to all local families.
The name of the Children’s Centre was chosen after consultation with local families and was whole-heartedly endorsed by the Pre-school Learning Alliance, the lead agency for the Children’s Centre, and the Partnership Group. The name was suggested because Lord Ebury owned the majority of the land bordering the area.
