Our surestart centre is AMAZING.They have groups each days for different ages, one for a childminding network group.They hold cookery and weaning classes, baby first aid, music classes, positive parenting classes, budgetting skillall completely free.They provide brand new, educational toys, you can use their phones to ring job centres and look for jobs etc.HV and midwives pop in, BF classes-everything!
I don't persoanlly see the point in putting more HV's in, as you can just go baby clinic for that-unless not all areas have that?
I would be completely lost without mine, so glad it's here to stay!
