Somerset Children's Centre Wandsworth

Somerset Children’s Centre provides welcoming space where you and your child under 5 can have fun, Please contact the centre to find out if you are in our area.

Our Children's Centre team organise activities for families with children from birth to three years. The Centre is open for a minimum of 48 weeks a year, with an adjusted timetable for school holidays. Activities are tailored to meet the needs of our local community; each term’s new timetable is based on feedback from families and consultation with other children’s centres in the area. The current

timetable is available at the Children’s Centre reception and on our website.

‘Learn and Play’ sessions are run on a drop-in basis and provide families with a chance to engage in a range of play experiences with their child, meet other parents and talk with professionals to get advice relating to the learning and development of their child. Other sessions involve families engaging in a series of sessions and require advance booking. These include;
• Baby Massage workshops for babies 6 weeks to crawling
• Language and Play run by the Speech and Language Therapy team
• Parenting workshops run with outside partner agencies. We work closely with other agencies to provide on-site access to a range of professionals. These include;
• An Early Years Speech & Language Therapist offering ‘Talk Shop’ sessions and individual support.
• A Family Support Worker supporting families with child development, behaviour and routines, parent anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties and budgeting.
• A visiting Educational Psychologist offering support on children’s behaviour and learning.
• A Contact-A-Family worker, providing support for parents of children with additional needs.
• The locality Health Care team who run a Well Baby and Child clinic and support weaning workshops and postnatal groups. For more information about becoming involved in the development of children’s centre services please read ‘Parent Partnership’ (p24)

Please note:
All of our activities are FREE, however we prioritise families from the centres ‘reach’ area. Families attending any session need to complete a Wandsworth Children’s Centre registration form. These are available from the Children’s Centre receptionist
