I've now done the same for the one that gave rise to the enquiry 
(changing it from 'school'). The Name includes the phrase 'Children's 
Centre', and I haven't bothered including the term 'SureStart' at all. I 
was actually just looking for the appropriate high-level tagging rather 
than wanting to be specific about the SureStart scheme itself.

Thanks to all.
