Luton's children's centres support families and communities. They provide a one-stop shop for information, advice and support for families. Children under 5 and their families benefit from a range of flexible services and support when they need it. The centres are dotted all over Luton making them easy to access. They bring together local services which may be all under one roof, or close by in the community. The overall aim of the centres is to support you in the everyday challenges that you face in bringing up young children.
