Children’s Centre Survey

Children's Centre survey

I am keen to hear your thoughts on the proposal by Norfolk County Council to close 46 out of 53 children's centres in Norfolk. As a father with a new-born baby myself I am very aware of the valuable work children's centres do, offering services such as: advice on early learning and childcare; drop-in stay-and-play sessions; antenatal classes delivered by midwifes; confidential advice and support from health visitors, educational psychologists, and speech and language therapists; and access to outreach services provided by the Wellbeing service.
