    I always provide a friendly welcome and the opportunity for you to meet other parents and build friendships.

    I have extensive experience of working in Children and Family Centres and have undertaken a vast array of professional training in Early Years, Parenting, Safeguarding and Health and Safety.

    I’m able to support you with family issues, transition into school, and parenting, in a friendly and confidential way, both in a group setting and on a one to one basis.

  • Emily Hart, Early Years Coordinator

    Hi, I’m Emily and my role is to provide creative and exciting family sessions accessible for all children and their families within the community. Working alongside Lin, we run lots of wonderful group sessions through out the week, covering a range of topics and support in those early years and beyond.

    I also offer one to one support for any families with children 0-5 years, around behaviour and your child’s learning and development.

    I have extensive experience and qualifications within child development and play work, particularly in the Early Years, including Special educational needs, and English as additional language. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me!

    I’m excited to join the team here at The Berin Centre and am eager to connect with the community. I’m looking forward to discovering and celebrating our residents, working together to provide future services that will enhance the already thriving community.

    I have a wealth of experience in both adult and children services and have a passion for promoting positive outcomes and creating new opportunities. I really value the importance of belonging and the sense of security our community offers.
