Primrose Hill Sure Start Children's Centre

Play and stay at Primrose Hill

Primrose Hill is a purpose-built development, which opened in September 2007 and comprises Primrose Hill Community Primary School, the Sure Start children’s centre, family centre, and day nursery.

The children’s centre is built upon Ordsall’s previous Sure Start Local Programme, and has further developed its excellent links with projects such as family support, health improvement, dental improvement, Salix Homes, speech and language therapy, and midwifery.

Primrose Hill has a satellite for many activities at the Ordsall Neighbourhood Centre. We also work with Ordsall Community Cafe for internet access for parents, basic skills training and work and skills advice.
