Exploring the Role

Children's Centres offer a range of services to support children under five and their families, from early learning and childcare to child health information and drop-in sessions for parents.

Children's Centre Managers co-ordinate the provision of the services that are delivered from their Children's Centre. In Hertfordshire, Children's Centre services may not be delivered just from one base and a manager would need to co-ordinate services from different locations within the area covered by the Children's Centre. They need to be able to respond to the needs of the local community and be innovative and enterprising in creating links.
