More information
Barnardo’s is committed to the ambition of improving outcomes and life chances for all children, young people and their families.
The core purpose is to ensure that all children have the best start in life and achieve positive outcomes. A key focus of Barnardo’s service is reaching children and families from within their local community to support with day to day needs and challenges.
The centres create an environment where children feel that:
- I like to interact with the adults around me.
- I am curious.
- I like to go to the park.
- I am beginning to communicate my needs with pointing and making attempts at some words.
- I like to show the family worker my toys when she visits.
All sessions and courses run by Barnardo’s are free:
Stay & Play (sessions):
Sessions provide a safe and stimulating learning environment in which parents/carers can play with their children, have fun and learn together whilst focusing on developing their child’s language, literacy and preparing their child for school. Suitable for toddlers to age 5.
Baby Time (sessions):
