The services provided fall under three categories:

SureStart offer one to one support or group support, some programmes are for the parents, and the children will be offered a creche place, and other programmes are for parents and children together.
The overall aim of Surestart is “to improve the wellbeing and life opportunities of young children under 4, through better health, early learning and play opportunities” so that “children can flourish when they enter school”.
The staff where highly delighted we had taken the time and included them in our distribution thoughts.
