Otley Children's Centre is a Phase II Children's Centre built on the Ashfield Primary School site. The building was completed in June 2008 and we have been in operation since that time. The Centre is staffed by a team of 3 people who work alongside other Children's Service agencies in the North-West area of Leeds.
Otley Children’s Centre works alongside the communities of Otley,Pool and Bramhope, aiming to contribute to the commitment of giving every child the best start in life, providing better opportunities for families, access to affordable and good quality childcare and a stronger and safer community .
