What services are available?
At Orton Children's Centre we run a variety of term
time activities for children up to the age of 5 and in
conjunction with the Extended Schools Service, holiday and one off
activities for children up to the age of 19. Each year during the
summer holidays we hold a Summer Fun Day and at Christmas we run a
Christmas Fun Day. Both events are hugely successful and are
real community events.
Look out for the new Spring programme,
covering Jan - April, now available at the
Jigsaw Centre or using the link below. You will also
find links to new sessions that we will be running such
as Father Figures, swimming for babies and Toddle
Time, a group specifically for those children that are too old
for baby groups but not quite ready for pre-school
groups.
The majority of families register with the Children's Centre
during an ante natal appointment or during the health visitor's new
birth visit. If you have missed out, please pop in to the centre
and staff will be happy to assist you with your registration.
Please could we ask that if you move address or change telephone
