Childrens Centres

There are currently sixteen operational children’s centres in Plymouth, offering a range of activities, childcare, health support, training and employment support. Activities are planned generally for parents and children under five years.

It is always worth checking out your local children’s centre for further activities in your area. They are great places to meet up with other parents and a good source of local information, support and advice.

  1. Emma Tiath says:

    I was just wondering if there are any activities for older children? (primary age) and if not I would be more than willing to come into some of the centres and discuss possible options of setting up drama clubs? Please feel free to look at my website, and I welcome any contacts! Thank-you, Emma.
