Longfield Children's Centre

Longfield Children's Centre is built on the site of Flamstead End Primary and Nursery School (Lead Agency). The name was chosen after consultation with local parents/carers and school children, via student councils. The name 'Longfield' means ancient field.

What is a Children's Centre?

Children’s centres offer the best start in life for every child. They provide information and services for families with young children and aim to build on good existing services rather than starting new ones where it’s not necessary. By visiting your local children’s centre, you will receive support and help in finding childcare, family support, health services and even employment advice.

Every children’s centre offers services for an area of approximately 800 children under five and these have to include:

Good quality early years provision available during hours to suit working parents Support for all children with special needs and disabilities Parent support including toy libraries, parent and toddler groups and parenting programmes A  base for a childminding network and/or childminding group Local advice and information for parents Effective links with Jobcentre Plus, local training providers, further and higher education providers, to provide access to information,  training and career opportunities Child and family health services, including antenatal services
