Balham Children's Centre

Sessions are aimed at mums, dads and carers and their children aged 0 to 3.5 years old. 

At a Children’s Centre you can:

• make friends;
• learn to play creatively with your child;
• do things that can bring you closer with your child;
• improve your parenting skills;
• complete training courses which can help you back into the world of work;
• have fun knowing that your child is nearby and being properly cared for;
• attend groups for parents of special needs children or for young parents; and
• get support with family problems.

Please note that due to restricted numbers, the centre is currently only able to work with families for their drop in Play and Learn sessions.

Some sessions need to be pre-booked, and others are by invitation only - please see the timetable under 'Downloads' for information.

The children's centre offer is changing. Check out our new Start for Life offer. Please see the timetable under 'Downloads' for what's happening in children's centres across the borough.
