Franciscan Children's Centre

Franciscan Children's Centre provide a welcoming space where you and your child can have fun and learn. 

Sessions at the Childrens centre are for mums, dads and carers with their children aged 0 - 3.5 years.

What does Franciscan Children's Centre offer?

Children's Centres are places where all families with children under 3.5 years, and expectant mothers and fathers, can go to help their children to get the best start in life. The facilities and activities are designed for young children and their families.

All children's centres will offer informal support for parents and a place for your child to play and learn.

Children's centres work with a wide range of partners to ensure that we can help families in whatever area they need.

Services in children's centres include:

  • child and family health services
  • information for families and carers
  • early education and information about childcare
  • support for children with special needs
  • outreach and support to families in need
  • helping parents find training and employment

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.

The children's centre offer is changing. Check out our new Start for Life offer. Some sessions need to be pre-booked, and others are by invitation only - please see the timetable under 'Downloads' for information.
