Four toddlers dressed in plastic painting aprons are painting on a large strip of paper taped to an outside wall. They have made big splodges of red, blue and yellow along the paper.

welcome

The Ivy Street Family Centre is a little oasis of warmth and fun in the heart of Hoxton. We provide welcoming and relaxing spaces for children and their carers where everyone can makes friends. We welcome mums, dads, childminders, nannies, grandparents and anyone else looking after under fives.
