Doncaster Families Information Service

Children's Centres > Edlington Children's Centre

As a Children's Centre, we work together with different agencies within the local community to provide a joined up service to children and their families. For example, we work together with schools, health professionals, adult education service and early years services such as nurseries.

As well as providing services at the Children's Centre, other groups and services are offered from a range of venues within Edlington and Warmsworth. These include schools and community venues, and in doing this we endeavour to make our services accessible to all.

Our Play & Development Team create a high quality play and learning environment for all children and their families, working within the Centre and the community. We support and empower parents in their important roles as partners in their child's learning. Our Children's Centre teacher is also involved in early years development of children in the community, working closely with schools. Best practice is assured through working under the Early years Foundation Stage Framework.

Our Family Support Team, offer a professional and empathic approach to supporting families who need encouragement and guidance. We offer a range of services which include parenting support programmes, and adult learning support. We will also signpost to other agencies so that we can offer a package of care that will reflect a needs-led service.

We cover the whole of Edlington and parts of Warmsworth.
