Chingford
Childrens Centre
Chingford Childrens Centre supports families of children from birth to five years
as well as pregnant parents in the Chingford area.
Our universal groups like Stay and Play are for all families and are free.
The groups are planned around the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework
and support children to learn and develop through play.
Please contact us if you would like to know more about our services or the
partners we work with or if you are interested in becoming a volunteer.
Safeguarding Children
All staff regularly receive child protection training so that they know what to
do if they believe that a child or vulnerable adult is at risk of harm or neglect.
If you have any concerns about a child or adult Raymond Wood is the lead
safeguarding officer and can be contacted on 0208 496 1551.

Benefit
As more and more of us receive
benefits and with the ever changing
rules and procedures it is more
important than ever that we make
sure that we are on top of it. This you
may say is easier said than done as
the rules are always changing how
am I expected to know what the
latest is, how am I to know if I am
receiving too much or not enough.
Well the answer is simple you can
download all the benefits information
from the web and read it all and
then understand all the legal jargon
and how it relates to you and then
complete the necessary paperwork
and submit it.
FATHERS GROUP
DADS + FATHERS + MALE CARERS +
UNCLES + GRANDFATHERS
In a world of change there are few things
that remain the same and one thing that
has stayed the same is that children want
their fathers. What we have found is that
week days are okay for some fathers to
attend groups with their children however
some still find it difficult to attend during
the week so we have decided to put on a
group on Saturday.
Breastfeeding
Im sure you know how
good breast milk is for your
baby. The first weeks milk
is vital for supporting their
immune systems, making
their digestive system work
smoothly. It works as the
primary mum-child bonding
attachment factor, which
helps baby to feel safe
and secure.
Did you know how breast
feeding is good for you? First of
all it helps to restore your body
back to pre-pregnancy as the
body is able to recover quickly.
Secondly, the researchers
discovered breastfeedings
positive impact in preventing
the breast and ovarian cancers.
Thirdly, helps to overcome
post birth/natal depression
and builds self-confidence.
Breastfeeding can be very
challenging at first for most,
but I urge you to not give up
at the first hurdle as you and
your family will benefit.
