Surestart children's centres
Children & Families Information Service - January 2010
cfis@kirklees.gov.uk
Sure Start children's centres are an exciting way of delivering services to families
with children under five years old. Across Kirklees Sure Start children's centres
are being developed in new and existing buildings. By 2010 the aim is to have a
Sure Start children's centre in every neighbourhood in Kirklees, with some already
up and running.
The services offered in Sure Start children's centres include integrated childcare
and education, family support, child and family health services, family learning
and support for training and employment. Sure Start children's centres aim to be
your first stop for local advice and practical support for families. Some Sure Start
children's centres will provide these services under one roof, others will have
information points to signpost you to where they are being delivered locally.
Sure Start children's centres support the government's Every Child Matters strategy,
which sets out to improve outcomes for children and young people, whatever their
background or circumstances.
