About 1st Place Children & Parent'S Centre

The 1st Place Family
1st Place was born from the vision of local children and parents as part of the Aylesbury Sure Start Programme in 2005. The aim was to provide a special place where children and their families came first. Parents could find the support that they needed, different professionals could get to know each other, and partners could learn to change the way that they work to make their services better for local families. 

To this day, our families still lie at the heart of what we do and we are proud of our long-lasting relationships with parents and their children. Many of our families continue to support us even when they have moved out of the area, and a number of our staff and volunteers began their links with 1st Place as parents.
