How will Childrens Centres develop?
A8: The majority of Children’s Centres will be developed from Sure Start local programmes, Neighbourhood Nurseries and Early Excellence Centres. However, the Sure Start unit is also encouraging local authorities to think innovatively about how to develop other local provision in the maintained, voluntary and private sectors. Since the Children’s Centre programme is very much about building on existing provision, very few new Children’s Centres will be built from scratch.
