Manager: Ann Donnan

Alloa Family Centre is a purpose-built centre situated between Park Primary School and Alloa Academy and about 10 minutes walk from Alloa town centre.

We provide a main road minibus service to the areas which are furthest away from the centre.

We are open Monday - Friday from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm with some evening meetings.

Although most of our work is with under-fives and their parents, we also run some services for older children in partnership with secondary schools.

Special events and individual family needs

We pay special attention to children's birthdays, dietary provision and cultural backgrounds.

We aim to give valuable learning experiences to all children.

Parent and toddler group

Our parent and toddler group meets in the large play area four mornings a week:

Your children can enjoy playing with others and you can meet other parents in a relaxed atmosphere.

We run Health Scotland's Ready Steady Toddler programme in our toddler group which follows topics laid down in their publication which is given to parents by their Health Visitor.

Families can support one another through this time by sharing experiences, and staff are there to provide additional support and guidance on a variety of parenting support topics.

Group work

We run a range of groups and activities in the centre for parents. Some of these have a creche service. Our Adult Groups at Alloa Family Centre information leaflet is available to view or download from this page.

Staff

Our staff consists of a Manager, Depute Manager, Early Years and Family Workers, Clerical/Administrators and Domestic Staff (caretaker, kitchen staff, cleaners and minibus staff). In addition, we often have students or trainees working in the Centre.

Our Early Years and Family Workers all hold recognised Child Care qualifications and are registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).

Service Monitoring

The centre achieved the Healthy Working Lives Gold Award in 2009 and strives to maintain this standard.

We are also an accredited Health Promoting School with a member of staff assigned to the Clackmannanshire Health Promoting Schools steering group.
