CHILDRENS CENTRES

Children’s Centres are a ‘one-stop shop’ for children under 5 and their families/carers.

The Faversham Children’s Centres at St Mary’s and Bysing Wood work together to deliver a range of services in Faversham for children under 5 and their families covering childcare, health, family and support services in a supportive, understanding and positive environment.
