Enhanced Children's Centre (ECC) (draft)

In line with Public Health England and Wandsworth Council guidance the Enhanced Children’s Centre will be closed until further notice.
West Hill Enhanced Children’s Centre has a Facebook page, Instagram, and website for families, using these to promote positive play experiences and interaction for parents and children who are isolated. They are promoting key messages linked to Covid19 in a family friendly way and other resources parents may find useful. They are also providing video singing and story sessions with staff which families can use with engaging with their children.
