Are children's centres reaching the hard to reach?

That is the question. I am a huge fan of children's centres and our local one does some wonderful things, including a carers and childminders drop in, yoga, toy library, music and movement, breastfeeding advice and a Turkish and Kurdish advice session. But three small things recently have made me wonder what more it could be doing to reach the people it really needs to be targeting.

Firstly, my social worker mum came along with me to the play drop in which I have raved about. She said while it was lovely, the families she worked with probably wouldn't make it that far as first of all you have to buzz to get in the centre, then pass a reception, and go down a corridor through another door. I'm not really sure what could be done about this to balance security with ease of access though - any ideas? She also said the amount of information on the walls (timetables, advice on play, safety advice etc) was a bit intimidating, with lots of words and could do with some simplification.
