As at 31 January 2017 there were 3,247 main children’s centres and sites open to families and children providing children's centre services as part of a network. Children’s centre records are maintained by local authorities and are made publicly available via the Department’s “EduBase portal” at: http://www.education.gov.uk/edubase/home.xhtml.

Based on the information supplied by local authorities, a list of the total numbers of main children’s centres and sites that have ceased providing services as part of children’s centre networks in each local authority since 2010 is attached[1].
