Wiltshire Children's Centres

From 1 July 2016 children's centre services will be delivered in 17 dedicated children's centre buildings in areas of highest need while in other areas the staff will deliver the services from a range of community settings at flexible times to meet local need. (You can see more information on the consultation for the delivery of children’s centre services in the 'Future of Children's Centre Services Announced' article below.)
