cluster-based approach
Hillingdon Council is consulting on reconfiguring its family hub services to adopt a cluster-based approach across the borough.
Hillingdon Council's Cabinet approved a public consultation in October 2026 on proposed changes to its family hub and children's centre services. The council aims to reconfigure services to a cluster-based approach, organising support around three localities and six education-aligned clusters across the borough.
The consultation will cover plans to convert children's centres in Yiewsley, Yeading, and Pinkwell into family hubs, while existing hubs in Uxbridge, Hayes, South Ruislip, and West Drayton will remain. This approach aims to create a more accessible support network for families from pregnancy up to age 19, or 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities.
