The centre, which is currently situated on Meadow Street, offers services and support for families with children under five years old and is one of a network of 15 centres across the area.
Later this year, the Weston centre will move to the Carlton Centre, a 10-minute walk from its current location.
The move to larger premises means Weston Children’s Centre will be able to provide more services to more parents, carers, children and young people. Families who use the centre are being asked to take part in a consultation about the move to say what services they would like to see at the new location as well as their preferred opening hours.
Cllr Catherine Gibbons, North Somerset Council’s Executive Member with responsibility for Children’s Services, said: “I’d encourage all families who use Weston Children’s Centre to take part in this consultation so we can make sure the centre meets their needs.
“Unfortunately, with the current building on Meadow Street we can only offer a limited service to families of under-fives.
“The Carlton Centre is a bigger building. Moving there means we’ll be able to expand our services and develop a family hub where we can offer support and help to families and children and young people aged 0 to 19.
“We’ll also be running more outreach work in the local community meaning we can offer our services to more families, helping us make North Somerset a place where all children and young people have the best possible life and opportunities.”
