Services

Mother holding toddler Sure Start covers children from conception through to age 14, and up to age 16 for those with special educational needs and disabilities. It also aims to help parents and communities across the country.

Here you can find out about the wide range of services that are currently available, from Children's Centres and early support programmes to information and advice on health and financial matters, as well as ways we are helping set and maintain childcare standards.

How do our services work?

Our 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.
