Children's centres offer quality care and education for young children alongside services and support for families in the community.

My role as children's centre teacher is to have an overview of the education of all the children in the centre, who range in age from birth to five years, with particular responsibility for the Foundation Stage. I lead the Foundation Stage team, working alongside staff and co-ordinating and advising on provision, planning and assessment.
