Best Start Children’s Centres offer services, activities and support for families with children under 5. Most activities, apart from childcare are either offered free or at a small cost. Every centre is unique and provides a wide range of services and activities you might need as a family with a baby or young child, for example, midwife appointments and child health review.

Our Federation are commissioned to deliver Children’s Centre services across the North and Central locality, through a 'Hub and Spoke' model, in which the designated 'Hub' will plan and co-ordinate the services across the locality. Services in the South locality are maintained and delivered directly through the Local Authority.
