About us...

From small beginnings as a neighbourhood nursery set up in Twerton over 15 years ago, First Steps is now one of Bath’s largest voluntary organisations.

We provide 110 full day care places in two Children’s Centres and a range of related family support services.

First Steps has established a national reputation for the quality of the services it provides to children and families and we employ over 50 people.

If you are interested in working for First Steps (Bath) please view our current vacancies on our Getting Involved page.

As a registered charity and company limited by guarantee, our work is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of local professionals from a range of disciplines and parents who use our services.

What are Children's Centres?

Children's Centres are a nationwide scheme (known as Sure Start Children's Centres) that brings together:

  • early education and childcare

  • family support and outreach to parents and children

  • child and family health services

  • support to access training and employment

First Steps (Bath) runs two Children's Centres in South West Bath. They have both been designed to provide a welcoming and secure environment for young children and their families
