Wakefield's Children’s Centres offer access to a range of support for families with children under 5.
Services that these Children’s Centres offer give children the best start in life and help them to reach their potential – and parents benefit too.
We also offer a range of services which will vary from time to time, including:
- Support for parents – including advice on parenting, local childcare options and access to specialist services for families.
- Child and family health services – ranging from health screening and health visitor services to breastfeeding support.
- Helping parents into work – with links to the Jobcentre Plus and training.
- Integrated Childcare and Early Education 0-5 on site or through linked providers.
