iggyfishtank, while I broadly agree with you on most points, I do not see that having Children's Centre marks out an area of need. Our borough has 14, distributed fairly evenly across. They are focal points for all services to do with children. Remember that poverty is not the only issue affect parents that might cause them to need professional help - what about postnatal depression or disability?
And while i agree that the poor tend to remain poor because they are unable to access key services, and are less able to play the system than middle class families, it doesn't mean the middle class families can afford to get private support as good as the support offered through a Children's Centre.
