I spent the morning as part of a 'visioning' group which has been set up to look into a new Children's Centre which will be coming to Grove next year. This is funded by Oxfordshire County Council and aims to give support for young children and families in the area.
There are currently 29 Children's Centres in Oxfordshire, and we heard about the success of the one in Faringdon which is linked to the family centre. You can read more about them here on the County Council's website.
The venue for the new centre has not yet been finalised, but I will keep readers informed of progress on this blog. There is to be an Advisory Group meeting next week. Anyone who is keen to be involved, contact Spurgeons, a charity for children and young people who will be running the centre (tel. no. 01295 690785).

Hi Zoe,
ReplyDeleteDo you have any news on the children's centre that is due to open in Grove, will this centre also service Wantage? and is it the phase 3 centre that the local authority are planning to open in wantage?
Lot sof questions!!
Tracey
These are both phase 3 centres, but are run separately.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 centres will be working closely together so they don't duplicate each other. People from Wantage and Grove can chose to go to either centre.
