What we do

The Ely and Caerau Children’s Centre (ECCC) is Cardiff’s only Integrated Children's Centre, and has been open and operational for families since June 2005. The ECCC was built with the aim of improving health, education, the emotional development of young children, and families through an integrated approach. The Centre serves those living in the local communities of Ely and Caerau. Our community group sessions and our Daycare provision are only open to families living in the Ely and Caerau area.
