Wiltshire Children's Centre Services

Spurgeons Children's centres are places where parents of children aged 0–5 years can share the challenges and joys of parenthood. The centres offer a range of activities and support services to help you with all aspects of parenting, helping you make sure your child gets the best start in life.

Due to Covid-19 some services we usually provide have been suspended but we are finding safe ways to continue to provide support to families across Wiltshire during this time.
