There are now 42 children's centres in Derbyshire. These services are aimed particularly at children aged under five years and their families. If you are in this group the Government expects you will have access to these services by 2010.

Our centres provide the following services:

  • Early education.
  • Childcare.
  • Family support and support services in the home or community (known as outreach) for parents and carers.
  • Child and family health services.
  • Job Centre Plus.
  • Information, advice and guidance to other services available (known as personal signposting).

Our Children's Centres bring services together to improve the quality of life and increase opportunities for all children.

These services will be delivered from a variety of settings in each Children’s Centre across Derbyshire. Services may be delivered by a number of organisations working together, who may be from the local authority, voluntary/community organisations or the private sector.
