The Village

The Village was one of the first purpose built centres of its kind in Kent.  Based in Folkestone next to Castle Hill CP School, it has been providing services to children and families since April 2004.  Our centre values are based on the Sure Start principles. 

The centre runs an exciting timetable of groups, activities, events and trips throughout the year.  Click to see our calendar of events or keep an eye out for our ‘What’s On Guide’ and Newsletter.  

We also offer advice and guidance from a range of professionals in a friendly, welcoming environment.  We have a strong emphasis on community involvement and encourage our families to participate in all areas of the centre, including planning our activities and events. 

We work in close partnership with Castle Hill CP School who run a busy full day care Nursery within the Children’s Centre.  We also run our own 12 place Ofsted registered crèche to compliment and support our services. 

 
Here’s what some of our parents say about the Village:

"I feel less stressed now as I have somewhere to go with my children"

"The crèche is fantastic with excellent staff"

 "It gets me out of the house and has given me the chance to make some good friends"
