Croxteth Sure Start Children's Centre
Croxteth Sure Start Children's Centre brings together a wide range of services for children from birth to 5 years old and their families, pregnant women and their partners. The centre is a one-stop shop bringing a range of services together within the community, including health, family support and ante-natal services for parents and carers. These services are for everyone within the Croxteth ward and beyond. The centre has recently relocated to our new building on Our Lady & St Swithins School site in Parkstile Lane. The majority of services are delivered from our new Centre although we do deliver some activities from St Cuthbert's Church, Gems Centre and Croxteth Sports Centre.
Childminder Network: Croxteth is in the process of establishing an active childminder network. This is a support group for OFSTED registered childminders managed by a designated coordinator. Debbie our Coordinator works closely with staff from Clubmoor and Ellergreen Children's Centre's and they will be supporting our childminder drop in facility over the next few months whilst she is on maternity leave.
