⚠️ POLITE NOTICE AND HELP NEEDED – TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF ONE OF OUR COMMMUNITY CENTRES IN THURNSCOE!

Unfortunately, due to water damage affecting the electrical room Houghton Road Community Centre have no choice but to temporarily close for the weekend and into next week (not sure yet until plumber and electricians can come from Waites as the building is owned by Berneslai Homes)

The committee sincerely apologises for the inconvenience this may cause to all our groups, businesses and regular users of the Centre.

They added “We really appreciate your patience and understanding while the situation is dealt with.
We hope to be back up and running as soon as possible. ❤️

📢 Please keep following ours and their page for further updates.

Let’s support the centre in getting back on their feet soon, these volunteers have worked so hard over the past 6 months to modernise and get it to full capacity.

If anyone is available to help with supporting the Centre when it’s back up and running - donations for the Xmas raffle would really be appreciated to raise money for their much needed refurb that’s needed from the damage and replenishing of the welcome warm space coffee morning as all food has to be donated due to electrics been off for 2 days and more…

Thanks in advance everyone. 🫶

Have you or someone you know got a little one who has just turned 2 or will be 2 before 31st December 2026
🌈 Looking for a special place for your little one to learn, play and grow? 🌈
👶 Our playgroup has something a little different to offer, especially for 2-year-olds!
Choosing the right setting for your child is a big decision. At Station House, we understand just how important those early years are. We pride ourselves on providing a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where every child matters. ❤️
✨ Why choose Station House?
🧸 Specialist provision for 2-year-olds – we understand the unique needs of our youngest children and help them take those first steps towards independence, confidence and learning ready to start their school nursery place once they are 3years old
👩‍🏫 Experienced, highly qualified staff – our knowledgeable team brings years of experience and a genuine passion for helping little ones thrive.
🏡 A small, friendly setting – your child isn't just a number! Our smaller environment helps us get to know every child, understand their individual needs and support them at their own pace.
🎨 Learning through play – from exploring and creating to making friends and discovering new things, every day is an opportunity to learn, develop and have fun!
🌳 A fantastic outdoor play area – our children have access to a great outdoor playground where they can run, explore, get messy and enjoy plenty of fresh air and active play.
❄️ A lovely, comfortable environment all year round – we've recently installed air conditioning, helping to keep our rooms comfortable for the children whatever the weather.
💛 A caring start to their learning journey – building confidence, developing communication and social skills, and helping children feel safe, happy and ready for their next steps.
And if you're not quite sure whether Station House is the right place for your little one, come and have a look around! 👀
We'd be very happy to show you around, introduce you to the team, see our playrooms and outdoor area, and answer any questions you might have. Sometimes the best way to decide is to come and see us for yourself! 😊
