Children's Centres

Children’s Centres are useful resources for parents, parents-to-be, their babies, toddlers, young children and the rest of the family. They provide lots of different services for you and your children within your local community so you don’t have to travel far.

Sure Start for all
Warrington Borough Council and its partners want to make sure that all children in the area have the opportunity to reach their potential. Children’s Centres are part of the Sure Start For All and Every Child Matters strategies.
