Children's Centre Services
Sure Start Children's Centres in Bath & North East
Somerset
Children’s Centre Services are for the whole family to use and
based in local communities, often but not always in one
building. Everyone involved in Children's Centre Services is
working towards our vision of "promoting the health and wellbeing
of all children up to age 11 in Bath & North East Somerset and
narrowing the gap for the most disadvantaged." Many services
and agencies work with us to help achieve this vision.
Research shows that children do best when parents and
professionals work together and we recognise, respect and support
parents as the key people in children's lives. Children's
Centre Services work together with families to find solutions and
meet individual needs by offering:
- Health services
- Childcare
- Early education
- Family support
- information and advice
Our priorities for further development in Children's Centre
Services over the next 2 years are:
- Early support for disabled children
- Stronger links with maternity services
- A new Buddy Scheme to support some mothers at birth
- Championing services to support families in the current
financial climate
- Continuous quality improvement
There are already 8 Children's Centres in Bath & North East
Somerset, with another 3 areas being developed. They
are:
- Weston, Bath
- Chew Valley area
- Paulton
