FAMILIES are invited to see the vast array of services on offer at Halton’s Children’s Centres.

Halton Council is holding a welcome morning at Ditton Children’s Centre on Monday, November 13, from 10am to 12 noon, and at Kingsway Children’s Centre on Monday, November 20, from 1pm to 3pm.

This event is for Halton families who are either not registered or have never used a Children's Centre before and have children under five years old.

Staff will give families a guided tour, showing the play sessions and other services on offer.

There will be taster activities for children and refreshments will be available.

There is no need to book, families can just turn up.

Halton Cllr Tom McInerney, board member for children, young people and families, said: "Children's centres provide many different children and family services including activities for parents, parents-to-be, their babies, toddlers, young children and the rest of the family.

"They are located within the community so families don’t have to travel far.

“All Halton Children's Centres have disabled and wheelchair access."

There are seven Children’s Centres across Widnes and Runcorn.
