Future of Children’s Centres in West Norwood

Due to central government cuts the council is forced to make changes to our
childrens centres for families with under-5s . Lambeth wants to keep as many
centres open as possible and has proposals to run 18 centres from September
2019 onwards.

In the West Norwood area the council plans to keep Bentons Lane SE27 9UD
(Kingswood) & Hitherfield SW16 2JW open full time and Crown Lane SW16 3HX &
Rosendale SE21 8LR open half days. Cherry Tree at Barston Rd SE27 9HE will
continue its childcare service under Rosendale school.

To have a say over these proposals see the details are in this booklet:
https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/sites/default/files/co-childrens-centre-consultat
ion_0.pdf

And come along to one of the ten parent/carer consultation events, with a
free crèche, across the borough.

The nearest local events are:
Tuesday 8th January  1.30pm to 3pm at Brockwell One O’clock Club near
Arlingford Rd SW2 2TA
and
Monday 14th January 11am to 1pm at Rosendale Children’s Centre,  Rosendale
Road SE21 8LR

There is also an online survey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/K28FXN3

Deadline is Sunday 18th February
