North Dorset is a rural area with a number of small towns. Rather than one expensive building, children's centre funding was to be in the form of additional support for families. There is an extreme shortage of services such as speech therapy, so we supported the proposal for a 'virtual children's centre' which could develop provision for disadvantaged children.
Flying Start Nurseries is the major early years provider in the area. We provide grant-funded sessional education, wraparound care, baby places and holiday clubs. We include many children with special educational needs. We liaise with the community paediatrician, health visitors and portage. We have excellent Ofsted reports, Investors in People status and a highly qualified and experienced staff.
