Poulton Children's Centre

Poulton Children's Centre is housed within the old Fire Station at Clark St in Morecambe. The building has been transformed into a beautiful, modern space and can be used by anyone if they are pregnant or care for a child under five. The facilities can also be used by childminders, playgroups etc There is a car park on-site but Poulton Children's Centre can also be accessed easily on foot from Morecambe Town Centre. It is situated a couple of streets back from the promenade, not far from the Clocktower.
