The building is used by The Lighthouse Day Nursery from 8am-6pm Monday-Friday throughout the year (excluding public holidays and between Christmas and New Year). However, at present the Centre's reception is not staffed at all times. Unless you are coming to the Centre for a specific group or activity that you know is on, if you would like to speak to someone or arrange to visit, please phone the Centre. If there is no-one on reception at the time you phone, please leave a message with the Nursery staff and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

The Kings Centre was originally set up with the aid of donations from Meadows Community Church and other local churches and interested parties, as well as development grants and loans from a number of sources. Since then the Centre has been self-financing, major sources of income being the Lighthouse Day Nursery and room hire charges.

The Kings Centre does not have its own car parking apart from two spaces to the right of the building which are strictly disabled/staff parking only. Centre users are strongly discouraged from parking on the roads immediately surrounding and adjacent to the Kings Centre to avoid congestion and inconvenience to local residents. There is a public car park on Paddock Street just opposite the Centre and the Aldi car park (also opposite the Centre) may also be used in the evenings and on Sundays. The pavement area at the front of the building should only be used for loading and unloading of equipment, not for parking.

No. The Kings Centre operates a strict no smoking policy throughout the facilities.

The Kings Centre exists to support the local community. Our services and activities are targetted at a number of specifically identified needs and target-groups within the local community and we hope to continue expanding the range and scope of what we have to offer. The Kings Centre also has rooms that are available to hire for private, chartity, community or business functions.
