Children and Family Centres

We offer support and activities for families from 17 Children and Family Centres across Milton Keynes. These centres are hubs of activities and services for families and the local community

All of our Children and Family Centres offer a range of services for families from pregnancy to 5 years old. Our Family Centres also have services for families with children up to the age of 19 years, support the community with sessions and support for adults who may not have children or whose children may have grown and left home.
