From April 2026, Southend Family Centres are becoming Best Start Family Hubs. Find out more.

Sessions

Story, Sing and Rhyme

These sessions are split into age categories. We have one session for 0 to 1 year olds (older siblings cannot attend this session) and the other for 0 to 5 year olds (older siblings can attend this session). These sessions are free to attend. No booking is required, they are drop-in. Please note these sessions work on a first come, first serve basis. We will stop entry when the room reaches capacity due to health and safety.
