Your Children’s Centre services

Last year we listened to the views of local people about our new operating model for Kent’s Children’s Centre programme.

Snowdrop Children’s Centre is now part of a wider Dover Group of Children’s Centres. It will continue to deliver local services but will be run by Kent County Council from 1st July.

We are committed to ensuring that this change in management will not mean the loss of services to families that need them but will result in the relocation of some services to other community venues .The services that are currently provided at the Bechange building in will be available as follows from 1st July 2014.

The information on the next page shows where you can continue to get the services you used at Snowdrop and other services provided across the Dover Group.

Please note that venues for certain services are to be confirmed shortly.
