Castlemere is a satellite centre to the Children’s Centre at

Situated next to Castlemere Community Centre on Tweedale Street,

safe environment for children 0 – 5 year olds and their
families. There are excellent indoor facilities including a
large hall for special events and physical activities and
a new outdoor play terrace will be open in November
2009.
There is a warm welcome to all families from across the borough
irrespective of background, culture, lifestyle or family make up
and includes: mums, dads, grandparents, carers and
childminders.
The centres offer a variety of sessions for parents and children
to spend quality time together in a structured play
environment. There are also sessions just for parents, such
as Parent’s Drop In which is an informal parents forum where you
can come along, find out what is going on, share experiences with
other parents and get support and advice on a range of topics as
well as a session called Time for You, for children to be given
quality play experiences whilst their carer takes a well earned
break.
Typical sessions include:

stimulate their senses

experiences with their parent /carers

for 0 – 4 year olds
