Diane Joins Children's Centres Celebrations

08 May 2009

Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP Diane Abbott today celebrated the news that 3,000 Sure Start Children’s Centres have now been opened across the country.

Hackney has 15 Children’s Centres across the Borough providing a range of services for under-5s and their families including childcare, healthcare, advice and the opportunity for parents and children to socialise.

Speaking today Diane said:

“Over the years I have had the pleasure of visiting almost all of the Children’s Centres in my constituency. These Centres have transformed the services on offer for children and families in Hackney North and Stoke Newington. Parents now have a dedicated place to go for support and advice on bringing up their children and children have a happy environment to spend time in before they start school. Hackney is lucky to have fantastic staff and volunteers running its Children’s Centres and ensuring Hackney children get the best start in life.”
