A charity and social enterprise providing childcare and family support in the community

First Steps (Bath) runs two Sure Start Children's Centres, two nurseries and a range of group and individual services for families. We are based in Twerton and the area we cover has parts which are among the 20% most disadvantaged in the country. We deliver integrated care, education and family support for young children and their families living in Bath.

Why the community needs us

First Steps provides services for over a thousand young children and their families every year. We offer high quality, low cost childcare which provides learning through play. Through individual work or groups we can help with children's language development, behaviour and relationship skills; and support families with the challenges of parenting young children. We work closely with other agencies who offer services at our centres, such as health visitors and benefits or employment advisors.

Our impact on the community

Here are some quotes from our service users:"As a single parent family First Steps has really helped us get a balance""I'm not sure 'thank you' really goes far enough to express my appreciation and gratitude for all you have done since (my child) started coming here""The services enables (my child) to enjoy interaction with other children and allows us (parents) to both work without worrying about her development and well-being".

Volunteers needed

First Steps Bath welcomes volunteers with varied experiences from different backgrounds. Volunteers are required to have a DBS check as part of our commitment to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
