Supporting families and young children in child development

Children's Services - Children’s Centres

Watford YMCA have been appointed as Lead Agency for 2 of Hertfordshire County Council’s new Surestart Children’s Centres now being established around the county. Children’s Centres are central to the Government’s 10 year strategy to deliver better outcomes for children.

The centres offer a range of services to support families with children under 5 years old, for example, stay and play sessions, baby massage, baby sign and parenting support, and work in partnership with local schools and their extended services, the NHS and a number of private therapists.

If you would be interested in working with us, please take a look at Watford YMCA’s Vacancies or Volunteering pages to see if we have any opportunities at present.

The first of our centres is Littlebury Children’s Centre in Mildred Ave. Telephone 01923 243564.

Littlebury is open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. We do not open on Bank Holidays.
