The Heathway Centre provides services for families with children and young people aged 0 to 17 years (up to their 18th birthday) with a disability or additional needs. We also support families to access specialist training aimed at increasing confidence and awareness in caring for a child with an additional need.

We are based in a children centre building which is currently undergoing some building adaptations to make the centre more inclusive. This will include a wet room and multi-sensory room. We have access to a secure outside play area with a range of adapted outdoor play facilities including mobility adapted bikes and scooters.

We provide information and advice on a wide range of issues affecting families through delivery of both our universal and targeted early help offer. For more information on our early help offer, please refer to the links below. We can signpost and refer you to specialist local organisations including:
