Bideford Bay Children's Centre
Bideford Bay Children's Centre has developed from the Sure Start Bideford Local Programme, which was set up in 2002. When the programme was first set up it covered only the areas of Bideford North, South and East.
In 2005 the Sure Start Local Programme became a Children's Centre, and its area expanded to include Appledore and Westward Ho!.
In 2006 the area which the Sure Start Bideford Children's Centre covered was extended to include Northam and Instow.
And in 2008 the Children's Centre extended its area along the coast from Westward Ho! to Clovelly and Hartland. To mark this change, we changed our name to Bideford Bay Children's Centre to reflect more accurately the area we cover.
Extending our area means many new challenges in terms of the services we can hope to provide for all our families.
