Sure Start Children’s & Community Centres
Melton is proud to announce three new Sure
Start Children and Community Centres. The centres each
incorporate an early year’s education area, an enclosed outside
play space, reception, kitchen, consultation room and a community
hall.
The centres will be able to offer a wide range
of activities for local communities and will also act as hubs to
deliver services for the whole borough. Activities will be
tailored for all sections of the community, from the under-5s to
pensioners, with an aspiration that as far as possible the
activities and services will be free for local residents.
What is SureStart?
Sure Start is the Government programme to deliver the best start
in life for every child, bringing together early education,
childcare, health and family support.
More information about Sure Start can be found at
www.direct.gov.uk/surestart.
Our Aim
To help children aged 0-5 yrs get the best start in life through
improving health, social and education outcomes.
Family Outreach
We can provide you with information about what is going on for
you and your family at the Children's Centres, and go along with
you to your first group if you want us to.
We can provide one to one support if you think you need a little
extra help with things like behaviour management, rountines, and
the challenges that parenting can bring!
We can listen to your ideas about activities and services that
are needed at the Children's Centres and if possible, set them
up.
We can run courses, such as, baby massage and fun+families
parenting groups.
