Bridge Road Children's Centre

A Hub and Spoke Model Children’s Centre

Some children’s centres will provide full day-care and other facilities on-site, whilst others operate under a hub and spoke system.  A small ‘hub’ base exists from where the centre is co-ordinated as well as being an easy-to-reach contact point for parents and professionals.  The ‘spokes’ of the centre are all the partner groups, including childcare and health, whose services are provided out in the local community.  Together all these groups make up the children’s centre.

In the case of Bridge Road Children’s Centre, Woolenwick Infant and Nursery School and Woolenwick Junior School are the hub and the spokes are the different agencies and groups that we are working with.
