Our Sure Start Children’s Centre opened in April 2010. We support families and their children from early pregnancy through their first 5 years of life.

As a Sure Start Children’s Centre, we have our own personal contact at Job Centre Plus. We can help, not only in job searching, but with retraining opportunities or accessing further education.

The Children’s Centre staff are able to support your family in finding the right childcare should you be starting or returning to work. We hold details of all local providers; including schools, pre-schools, nurseries and child minders. We benefit from a purpose-built Centre with its own garden but with access too, to the grounds and resources of Riverside Primary School. This enables us to provide a varied timetable of activities which change periodically to account for the seasons and to the needs of our families.

We positively encourage parents to feedback to us through our newly established Parents’ Forum.

Santa and three reindeer visited our Children's Centre on the 21st December 2011!
