What is a Sure Start Children’s Centre?

Sure Start Children's Centres are designed to provide support and advice for local families with children under the age of five.

They also allow you to share new play and learning experiences, relax, unwind and meet new friends.

Sure Start Children's Centres in the East Riding support parents with young children so they can enjoy raising their family and are a 'one stop shop' for all your families needs including support, play, health, information and guidance.

Sometimes you may feel you need a little extra help. This may be emotional support to help you through the challenges of family life or even someone to provide a helping hand attending appointments or groups.

Sure Start Children's Centres can offer one-to-one family support through their home visiting teams, or you can find a variety of sessions within the Sure Start Children's Centres including:

health drop-ins;
parenting advice;
messy play;
baby massage;
toy library;
Dads' clubs;
home safety checks;
family learning;
breast feeding support;
and training and job opportunities.

To receive free newsletters and what's on guides posted directly to your home register at your local Sure Start Children's Centre.

You can do this by either popping in, or simply telephoning your local Sure Start Children's Centre in which you will be asked to complete a form.

How well do Ofsted rate our Sure Start Children's Centres?

Ofsted inspections for the Sure Start Children's Centres are ongoing.

This is a new process to the Sure Start Children's Centres, but they have shown a very promising start with all centres achieving 'good' Ofsted gradings with Bridlington having many 'outstanding' features.
