 What are children's
centres?
Children's centres are places that provide information and offer
access to services for families with young children under five
years old in your local community. Information about children's
centres can be found at our
Kent Children's Centres website (this link
opens in a new window).
Each centre offers a variety of services to cater for the needs
of the community, but will include the following:
- childcare provision
- early education integrated with childcare
- encouragement and support for parents thinking about training
or finding a new job
- antenatal classes and baby clinics
- information and advice about breastfeeding, parenting and
speech and language
- family support and outreach to parents
- drop in sessions for parents and children
- services for children with special needs and disabilities
- links with voluntary agencies
- links with local schools.
Why do we have children's centres? What happens there? How do
they work? What do people say about them? Please have a look at our
Kent children's centres leaflets to find out (these links open in a

These leaflets are also available in
other languages on our Kent Children's Centres
website. You can also find out more by viewing our
children's centres film on Kent TV.
