Centre first opened in June
2006 and since then has
developed greatly. We

Heathbrook Children’s
Centre to support our local
community. Both Centres
are rated ‘Outstanding’ by

The Children’s Centres core purpose is to support
families with children aged 0-5 living in our

We prepare children for school by supporting
parents to understand their role as their child’s first
teacher. Our team work with families to develop
children’s language, play and social skills. Our aim to
help develop children’s listening and attention, levels
of concentration and play experiences. We are
committed to supporting families that have children
with Special Educational Needs and Disability through
our early years SENDCo.
Family support is provided through the Outreach
Team, We are always on hand to offer support and
advice on various of subjects, including welfare
benefit entitlement, housing, Nursery transition and
education. We also run regular parenting
programmes and work closely with schools to ensure
that we are able to offer support to those families
most in need.
Employment, training and back to work support is
delivered in partnership with our family and adult
learning providers. Courses are numerous and varied
ranging from courses to support child development,
practical parenting and work.
Health and wellbeing support is available in the
