Children and family centres

Contents

Overview

Southwark has a wide range of services all in one place to meet you and your child's needs. 

Our centres offer a place for you and your child to socialise. Children can make friends and learn as they play.

We develop our centres in line with the needs of the local community, so each centre is unique. But they must provide a core set of services including:

  • professional child and family health services, ranging from health visitors to breastfeeding support
  • high quality childcare and early learning services
  • advice on parenting
  • access to specialist services like speech therapy, healthy eating advice or help with managing money
  • helping you find work or training opportunities, with links to local Jobcentre Plus offices and training providers
