For a warm welcome and a wealth of services and support for families with children under five years.

Children's centres are for all families with children under five years old. They provide a range of services, depending on local need and parental choice. The services offered will not be the same everywhere, because needs and communities vary greatly.

By working together with a variety of organisations children's centres provide:

• Information, advice and support to parents and carers
• Access to integrated early years education and childcare
• Health services
• Family support
• Employment advice
• Family learning opportunities
• Parent forums

There are currently seven children's centres situated throughout Bournemouth. By the end of 2010, Bournemouth will have a total of nine children's centres.
