An Introduction to Harrow Children's Centres: Who we are?

Please take time to browse through our pages which are packed with a wealth of information about our children's centres and services they offer for children and their families.

The development of of Harrow Children's Centres is strategically co-ordinated by Harrow Integrated Early Years and Community Services. Children's Centres are at the heart of building and sustaining partnerships between agencies to deliver better outcomes for children's centres.

Children's Centres play a central role in:

• Reaching the most disadvantaged
• Reaching identified target groups
• Improve multi agency working
• Raising the quality of early years provision
• Improving accessibility and visability for the local community to services
• Enhancing preventive and intervention approaches
• Improving the health and education of young children and their families.

All Harrow children's centres include:

• Integrated childcare
• Early learning opportunites
• Childminder support
• Information about care, education, training and benefits
• Specialist support for parents and children
• Universal health services

There are currently 13 children's centres located all around Harrow with three more to be launched in 2011. By the end of 2011, there will be a total of 16 children's centres opened in different locations in Harrow. Each centre has a schedule of activities and events which differ in response to the local needs of the community. Please click on the 'Find out more' link on the right for more information.
