North Dorset Outreach Base - Sturminster Newton

Children's Centres aim to give all children the best possible start in life and enable parents to support their child and family. They act as a central point where families can access information and a range of services.

Overview

The Sturminster Newton base is part of the North Dorset cluster of Children's Centres. See our latest newsletter (pdf, 435kb) (opens in a new window) for the North Dorset cluster.

The centre has an office base in Bath Road. Groups and activities are held at the Youth Centre or Health Centre and include:

Messy Play
Drop In Sessions
Baby PEEP (Peer Early Education Partnership)
Breastfeeding Support Group

We also run a number of play days throughout the year during school holidays. Parents and carers can also access our outreach workers, who can provide additional support or help to direct you to other professionals.
