The cards contain limited information about the family using them, including name and address, and can be used at all 21 of the borough's children's centres. Each family in the borough will receive up to three cards.
The card scheme was brought in to make the entry system more efficient and cut down on queues formed by families filling in forms. It also helps to promote the range of services and children's centre locations in the borough.
Also being provided are stickers for prams that can be scanned as a back-up if families leave their cards at home.
The council's head of early years, children and learning Helen Jenner said: "This new membership card scheme is going to mean local families have even more time to enjoy the centres and can make the most of the different activities and support on offer."
