Our main focus is based on the provision of accessible, affordable, appropriate childcare and learning and development opportunities.

At Places for Children we also support parents and carers by offering help and advice on important issues whether it is employment, health, training or financial issues.

We believe that our new-style nurseries set new standards within the sector and reflect our commitment to quality. Our nurseries are designed with children’s needs uppermost and are based on choice for the parent and child. Safety, comfort, learning and enjoyment are the organisation's main objectives and everything Places for Children does reflects this.

We also recognise that to secure this commitment to quality we need to recruit and retain professional staff. Excellent employment terms and conditions are offered to ensure the highest quality of service is provided.

Places for Children has established four core values which underpin its approach, these are:

Excellence in early learning and childcare

Supporting individuals and communities in areas where we work

Building positive relationships to support community renewal

Working in a not for profit context, as a subsidiary company, of Places for People
