Children learn from their families, friends, and communities; the languages spoken, and cultures experienced. Learning is a social activity, and young children gain understanding of their world through every day routines and activities. A range of Children’s Centre activities are accessible in Palfrey, Delves, Caldmore, Chuckery and Park Hall, at various venues; and delivered by Children’s Centre staff who are qualified in working with young children.

Staff members plan activities to support young children’s learning and development, which provide a range of experiences and challenges.

By regularly attending sessions,

children will gain confidence by :-

• becoming familiar with the environment,
• meeting and playing with other children and adults,
• participating in social activities such as snack, story and singing times, and learn behaviour boundaries.

parents will gain confidence by :-

• by making friends with other parents,
• gaining ideas to do at home with their young children.
