Our aim is to give every child and family in our area the best start in life, especially families with children aged under 5. We do this through providing a growing and expanding programme of activities and services tailored to meet local needs. Our current timetable is always available from the centre or through Facebook. We provide weekday daily activities for children and their families in our centre and sessions for dads and grandads on the third Saturday of every month. We also offer extra activities according to identified need, such as first aid for families, holiday activities for school-age children and baby massage. In addition our centre is used by other users who provide services for families. These include health visitors who run a well baby clinic every Wednesday, Oxford Sling Library who promote use of slings for babies every alternate Wednesday. We promote community use and activities through the year by hiring out the facilities to local groups such as yoga, keep fit and for children’s parties. The centre is also used by the local nursery school over lunch times and by Oxfordshire children’s services team to provide supervised contact visits.
