Sure Start Children's Centres are places where children under 5 years old and their families can receive seamless holistic integrated services and information, and where they can access help from multi-disciplinary teams of professionals.
Sure Start Children's Centres are at the heart of the Government's strategy to deliver better outcomes for children and families, building on successes of Sure Start local programmes, early excellence centres and neighbourhood nurseries and mainstreaming the lessons learned to extend the benefits to all families.
The Government is committed to delivering a Sure Start Children's Centre for every community by 2010. Sure Start Children's Centres are a vital part of the Government's 10 year childcare strategy to enable all families with children to have access to an affordable, flexible, high quality childcare place for their child. Choice for parents, the best start for children: a ten year strategy for childcare (2004), can be accessed at
