A new health room, sensory room, meeting and training facilities, a crèche and outdoor play area have been added to the revamped children’s centre, which was closed 12 months for the work to take place.
It was offically re-opened by the Mayor of Tower Hamlets John Biggs on 8 March, who was joined by more than 100 families.
The move forms part of the council’s commitment to protect and invest in its children’s centres so more parents and children can benefit from them.
It follows a council consultation last summer in which a decision was taken to deliver services for families with pre-school age children from 12 existing children’s centres. This includes the newly refurbished Ocean Children’s Centre, which caters for around 1,623 children under five-years-old.
