Tameside

Tameside's Family Hubs bring together early support for children, parents and carers, with buildings across the borough and extra provision at community venues. Families with children from birth to 19 can use the hubs, and the offer extends to 25 for young people with SEND. Local Family Hub locations are listed by neighbourhood.

The hubs are based at St Peter's Children's Centre in Ashton, Ridge Hill Children's Centre in Stalybridge, Flowery Field Children's Centre in Hyde and Greenside Children's Centre in Droylsden. Opening hours run Monday to Wednesday 8.30am to 5pm, Thursday 8.30am to 4.30pm and Friday 8.30am to 4pm.

For families looking for the wider early-years offer, the route into the council's Best Start for Life information is clearly signposted. That makes the hubs more of a family support network than a single session, which is useful when parents want help that fits different ages and stages.
