Children's centres in South Gloucestershire
Children’s centres offer families with children aged 0-5 years a free range of services, information and support in a friendly and welcoming environment, within the local community. They are also used by community organisations, including those working with the council to provide family services.
South Gloucestershire's Children’s Centres are all closed at the moment, but the Families Plus Team 0-5 are continuing to work from home. The council and local early help providers have been sharing information and advice for parents with children under the age of 5 via their new Facebook page. Visit the page here for a wealth of guidance and support for families including useful resources.
