Childrens Centres

Children's Centres are being developed throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland as places where parents and children can go to find out about anything to do with families all under one roof.

Different Centres have different facilities - many have a pre-school or nursery, many have toddler groups, classes, and activities that you can get involved in. Some also run support groups, and have special advisors at particular times for you to talk to.

They are also a source of information on local childcare, activities and are a great place to meet new people and make new friends too!

Choose your local Children's Centre from the list below, to find out what your Centre is up to. More and more are opening up across the UK (excluding Scotland) over the next two years so if there isn't a local one just yet, it's likely there will be soon!

It’s quick, free and easy to log in and your email address will never be passed to anyone else. "Why do I have to join?" We just want to keep the local information on Netmums as safe and secure as possible. Much of it is not available elsewhere on the internet and has mostly been provided by other Netmums members. If you are already a member login to your local site here.
