• Children’s centres are service hubs where children under five years old and their families can receive seamless integrated services and information.
• By 2010, every community will be served by a Sure Start Children’s Centre, offering permanent universal provision across the country, ensuring that every child gets the best start in life.
These services vary according to centre but may include:
• integrated early education and childcare – all centres offering Early Years provision have a qualified teacher
These services vary according to centre but may include:
• support for parents – including advice on parenting, local childcare options and access to specialist services for families
• child and family health services – ranging from health screening, health visitor services to breast-feeding support
• helping parents into work – with links to the local Jobcentre Plus and training.
