Log on to new websites and find out more about how your
local Surestart Children's Centres can help you
The County Council is encouraging
families to find out about the many ways
Worcestershire's Children's Centres can help them by logging
on to their new individual websites packed with information.
The websites, which can be found at www.worcestershire.gov.uk/childrenscentres,
include contact details for the 29 currently helping families
in the county, upcoming events, the services available, information
on opportunities to volunteer, what childcare is offered, copies of
the latest newsletters and directions on how to find the
centres.
Visitors to the websites, aimed at families
with children pre-birth to five-years-old, will also find an
interactive children's centre search using Google maps, advice on
healthy eating, downloadable stories to read to little ones and
copies of leaflets with other useful information.
As well as advice for families, the websites
also offers a wealth of information for healthcare professionals
who work with children's centres.
Cath Ellicott, The County Council's
Children's Centres Operational Manager, said: "The
websites will provide better, more up-to-date, access to
information for parents and the community about the services and
activities available to them at their local children's centre.
"We're delighted with the feedback we have
already had from the websites and hope more, and more, people will
use them."
