Wimborne Children's Centre

Children's Centre's 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

Welcome to Wimborne Children's Centre.

We have been open for almost two years now and have been providing various activities for children from 0 to 5 years old and support for their families.

Exciting News 

We have moved from Wimborne Learning and Community Resource Centre to a purpose built Children's Centre, at Leigh Park Community Centre, Gordon Road, Wimborne BH21 2AP. We have a people carrier so can arrange transport for those who find it difficult to come to the centre.

We provide sessions for varied groups such as:

  • A weekly stay and play session for any parent with twins
  • A monthly stay and play session for any parent with a child with special needs
  • A monthly stay and play session for childminders

We work very closely with our local health visitors and community nursery nurses who run the following groups from the centre:

  • A weekly breastfeeding support group run in partnership with breastfeeding peer supporters
  • A weekly baby clinic
  • Regular post natal sessions
  • Regular development check appointments

Location and area covered

We cover the areas of Wimborne, Colehill and Holt. We are running an outreach base at Wimborne Community Learning and Resource Centre. Our new purpose built Centre at Leigh Park is situated next to the Rugby Club at the end of Gordon Road (off the B3073 Leigh Road). We work very closely with Corfe Mullen, West Moors, Verwood and Ferndown, which forms the East Dorset Cluster.

Parking

There are a few spaces at the Leigh Park site, but we would encourage you not to use your car if at all possible. It is not only good for the environment, but more importantly for you and your child's health. Moreover, think of the fun activities you can do whilst walking around! Our outreach base at the Wimborne Community Learning and Resource Centre has no dedicated parking but here is a pay and display car park next to the building. The cost to park here is £1 for two hours.

Further Information

Please feel free to drop in to the centre or contact us direct to enquire about our sessions or courses.

Looking forward to meeting your little angel(s)!!
