Welcome to the first edition of the Children's Centres Newsletter!
Over the past few months we have developed an 'online offer' for families to enjoy, whilst our Centres are closed. This offer includes; weekly live sessions, Videos sent on WhatsApp, Monthly Topic Workshops and Activity Sheets. For further information, please see below.
Since the lockdown begun and the Children’s Centres are closed, the staff have really missed seeing all of the families and their colleagues; so they have put together a video to share their poem and messages with you
