The Gateway Children’s Centre is a one-stop shop for children’s services within the Ravenscliffe, Bradford area. Our services include:

· Nursery – we have a large nursery providing either half- day or full-day care. We have a dedicated qualified teacher who supports practitioners in ensuring that the children aged birth to five years participate in the two curricula. The staff enjoy planning activities for them and the feedback from parents of children is positive.

· Family support - our family support team can offer specific or more general support to parents in the area. The team do not tell parents how to raise their children but offer support where they feel it is needed.

· Groups and activities – these include baby massage, advice service, job vacancies, community parents and health events and many more that run in conjunction with the Ravenscliffe Community Association, which is housed in the same building. New courses are being added all the time.

We have had a number of positive comments from centre users as well as professionals on how welcoming and friendly the staff are at the centre.
