The council is proposing closing some of Nottinghamshire's 58 Sure Start Centres and bringing in more volunteers to run the rest.
Despite the changes, it says it will continue its close relationships with families who need support.

BBC NewsA theatre-goer has admitted being "distracted" during a performance of War Horse by the "overwhelming" smell from an audience member's king prawns and calamari.
Emmie Newitt, who attended the production's opening night at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham on Wednesday, found herself unable to concentrate.
Ms Newitt said: "All of a sudden, I got this overwhelming smell and I looked over and they had pulled out prawns and calamari.
"They ripped open the cellophane and were dipping their prawns into the dip and were eating them.
"The smell was so overpowering… and when you are watching a play like War Horse, which is a very serious play, it was a bit distracting.
"We asked one of the attendants to come and have a look because we were like ‘it smells’… and they came down and had a word and she put it away."

Maguire joins teammate Jamie Vardy in the 27-man squad to face the Netherlands and Italy.
The 25-year-old centre-back played the full 90 minutes as England kept clean sheets against Germany and Brazil in November.
Quote MessageI was really pleased by the way we defended in the games in November. Stones, Maguire, Gomez took the bulk of that game time. They were outstanding."
