Wooler is located in rural Northumberland. The Hub’s catchment area encompasses a 10 mile radius of Wooler and members include primary schools, a children’s centre, a playgroup and two childminders. Prior to the set-up of the Hub, many of the existing providers were part of the Local Authority’s Early Years Network.
The Hub was established to strengthen and rejuvenate this partnership, and to open up the network to other early years providers across the area. The Hub is coordinated and administered by an Early Years Consultant employed by the County Council.
