Hi, my name is Jan and I have been working at Burnt Oak Children's Centre as a Community Liaison Officer for over five years. I work with children aged 0-5 and parents, I can give help and advice on various things within the home.

You will find me having fun with the children in our Stay & Play sessions here at Burnt Oak or at St Barnabas on a Thursday. I have trained in "Understanding your Child" and I like to cook and enjoy teaching parents to cook a healthy meal for four on a budget. I will also be in some of the crèches that we run so parents can learn new skills.

Hello,

My name is Veronica and I have been working at Burnt Oak Children's Centre as a Community Liaison officer for the last seven years. I preciously worked as a play worker at PALS, the N.S.P.C.C home visiting scheme for eight years and I have worked as a pre-school assistant for eight years in various settings.

I run 'Music & Rhyme Time' which is at the Baptist Church on a Tuesday afternoon and the ever popular "Stay & Play" session at St. Barnabas on a Thursday, come and join us! 

At Burnt Oak I also support the 30 month development checks run by the local health visiting team and work in the crèches for children whose parents/carers are attending adult courses at the children's centre.
