Children and Family Centres offer a range of services to meet the needs of children under five and support their families. There are six children and family centres in Bromley and the services provided are designed around the needs of the surrounding area.
The centres are places where children can make friends and learn as they play. Parents and carers can access professional advice on health and family matters, learn about training and job opportunities or just socialise with other people. The types of activities and support that may be running at your local children and family centre are:
- Universal services such as baby clinics, developmental health checks, speech and language drop ins

- Family support and parenting from Family Support and Parenting Practitioners, Health Visitors, Midwives and young mum groups

- A range of courses and drop-in sessions for parents/ carers and their children aged from 0 to 5 years designed around child development, school readiness, health and wellbeing and acquiring new skills
