The centre has a newly designed garden, a training suite for staff development and family learning, a creche that enables parents to take part in courses, and a sensory room, which is a particular favourite of children who have special needs. Baroness Ashton praised the 'excellent provision' and said many parents in Stratford would benefit from it. Photo by Steve Hickey
