SureStart Benefits to Children Acknowledged
A study by Birkbeck, University of London found children behaved better and were more independent under Sure Start. Their parents provided a better home learning environment than in areas without such Sure Start centres. Sure Start Children’s Centres are places where children under 5 years old and their families can receive seamless integrated services and information, and where they can access help from multi-disciplinary teams of professionals. Their services bring together universal, free, early education and more and better childcare. Sure Start does this with greater support where there is greater need through children’s tax credit, children’s centres and Sure Start local programmes. We are lucky to have a Sure Start centre in Mansfield Woodhouse, situated on Swan Lane, which you can contact by Telephone: 01623 666370 or email lisa.buxton@notts.gov.uk or by clicking on the link to the left, which will bring up the addresses of local centres.
