Our Family Time Centre

The starting point for rebuilding family relationships

When a relationship ends, everyone within that family has to face a new start in one way or another. That’s not always an easy transition, especially when children are involved. Knowing where to begin can be overwhelming, especially if things have turned sour or there are safety concerns.

That’s why we exist. We are your starting point when you are experiencing relationship breakdowns with the children in your family, and you don’t know where to turn.

We are a Family Time centre on whose goal is to be more than just a place where families meet their children. Our aim is to be the vital support system that families need to maintain or rebuild relationships with children, no matter the circumstances.

What’s more, because this support system is family-led and developed by experienced professionals, we have removed the need for costly and emotionally draining court battles that lengthen the time children don’t see their family members.

Spaces to suit your circumstances

Whether you’re looking for fully supervised Family Time, the chance to interact outdoors or simply to sit and enjoy your child/children playing independently, we have a range of spaces within our Family Time Centre to suit.

Outdoor Play Area

Our outdoor play areas offer a relaxed, natural and safe space for children and family members to connect. Whether it’s football, basketball, or creative/artistic play, there’s fun to be had in every corner.

Indoor Softplay

Our very own Whacky Warehouse. Children love this space because it feels familiar and can be associated with fun. It includes a curvy slide, ball pool, games and a mini football area. They can be entertained for hours. This area has a cafe area too and is ideal for those families who need summarised and supported Family Time.

Private Family Time Rooms

Our private Family Time rooms are created specifically for families needing supervised child contact. Each room is equipped with enhanced security features, but has been designed to feel and look like a space they would see at home, so the whole family feel more at ease. 

Soft Play, Parties & Private Hire

Our centre has a huge whacky warehouse which is great fun for all those involved in summarised or supported contact. We also hire out the centre for private functions and parties as a great venue with a kitchen available to self cater for your own family.

We take pride in our ongoing dedication to rebuilding family relationships, and this is evident in the team we’ve created.

The Starting point Centre Logo

"I’m so grateful that the starting point centre exists. They helped me every step of the way build up a relationship with my daughter. The facilities are similar to that of a well equipped play centre with professional friendly staff on hand. My daughter would happily play there all day long.”
