What we do

We aim to ensure that every child gets the best start in life.

Torbay Children's Centres have centres in Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, and offer drop-in clinics, family support, workshops, play cafes, antenatal sessions, fun activities and much more for families with children under 5 and those preparing for parenthood.

The aim of all Children's Centres within the area is to improve outcomes for young children and their families by:

• Reducing inequalities in child development and school readiness
• Improving parents' aspirations, self-esteem and parenting skills
• Improving child and family health and life chances.

Children's Centres contribute to ensuring that every child gets the best start in life. They also work towards better opportunities for parents, and a stronger and safer community.
