Welcome to Sure Start
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Cadbury Heath Children's Centre.
The Centre is operated by a friendly team of workers that can offer support and assistance to parents/carers of pre-school children (0-5). We also have resources and an information service available to you to access; please speak with a member of the team for more information.

We are offering 'Stay and Play' sessions at our Cadbury Heath Children's Centre. Stay and play is different from other parent and toddler groups. Stay and play aims to support parents with their child's physical, social and emotional development through providing a range of fun and exciting play activities. We are available to parents and families to offer support and information on a wide variety of areas, e.g. childcare provision and work opportunities.
