As part of a national government
policy, the County Council plan to set
up 20 Children's Centres in Wiltshire
by 2008. The locations will be based
on Indices
of Deprivation, and input from local
community groups.
Each Children's Centre is to be 'the
hub of a community’, offering services
such as family support, parental
outreach, a base for childminders, a
service hub for parents and providers
of childcare services; and effective
links with pre-school provision and out-
of-school clubs. There is funding
available for these services.
Two Children’s Centres are planned for
Salisbury, one in Bemerton Heath, and
one in St Martins.
