Wittering Families Centre is a warm, welcoming family hub based at Wittering Primary School in the village of Wittering, near RAF Wittering on the Cambridgeshire border. Run in partnership with the school, RAF Wittering community support, SSAFA and local health visitors, the centre offers free, high-quality sessions for children aged 0-5 and their parents and carers, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.
The weekly timetable includes Stay & Play, Bumps to Babies (0-18 months), a Childcare Provider Group, Sensory Chill, Just Play, Baby Massage courses and Wittering Whizzkids, plus a Special Needs Support Group. All sessions are free of charge; some courses (e.g. Baby Massage) are booked in advance via the Wittering Whizzkids or @WitteringFamiliesCentre Facebook pages. The centre also supports primary-age children through in-school programmes such as Time to Talk and Wellbeing Club.
Sessions run in term time in comfortable indoor rooms at the school — a relaxed space for babies and toddlers to play and for families to meet and get support. See the school website's Families Centre page or the @WitteringFamiliesCentre Facebook page for the current timetable and session times.

Questions parents ask
- Can I take a buggy, and will it work with both a toddler and an older child?
- Yes, the centre is buggy friendly and step-free accessible throughout. Sessions are designed for children from birth to five, so it suits families with younger and older children together, though some sessions focus specifically on particular age groups.
- Is there anywhere to eat at the centre?
- We haven't confirmed whether there is a café or refreshments available at the centre. Contact them directly to check what facilities are available for families visiting.
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- The centre offers a variety of drop-in and structured sessions rather than a traditional attraction with a set duration. Session lengths vary, so check the current timetable to see what fits your family's schedule.
- What ages get the most out of the different sessions?
- Sessions are offered for children from birth to five years, with options including Bumps to Babies, Stay & Play, Sensory Chill, and Baby Yoga. The centre also runs Wittering Whizzkids for primary school age children, so there are activities suited across a wider age range.
