Welcome to South Bristol Children’s Centres

We are South Bristol Children’s Centres and are here to support you. Please look at what we provide and the information on our web pages.

It could be that we might help you to find an answer or a service that you need right now, including:

  • Information and Support for Parents and Carers, including return to work, training, personal support, access to food and cooking, and parenting support.
  • Information and Support for children, including speech and language support, two-year Education, Healthy Start vouchers, activities for children including Forest school, group activities, and crafts (see our timetables for details).

Our Children’s Centres

At our five children’s centres, you can expect to receive a friendly and welcoming team. They will offer advice on your family’s individual needs and let you know what help and advice is available through our services.

Bristol City Council funds us, and we are part of both Early Education and Children and Families Services. We work in partnership with many different organisations and people to provide group and individual support in the communities in South Bristol.
