The Hub Hazelwell

Situated on the south of the city The Hub is a lovely building for activities and training.
The rooms for hire are good sizes, the ground floor rooms are the largest and the rooms upstairs smaller but still with good capacity.
There is not a big car park at all however there are places locally on the many side roads etc. The 11 bus runs outside.
The building is secure as you buzz each time to get in and have to sign in at reception.
The toilets are on the ground floor and their is a good sized disabled loo with baby change.
There is a kitchen for events, tea and coffee is catered for with room hire and there is a stocked vending machine in reception.

My son and I come here regularly to attend some classes that are hosted here. The rooms are spacious and clean, and there is a small kitchen that is made available for tea and coffee afterwards. They are also fairly tight on security, with a door buzzer system and a book to sign in, which is reassuring.
They have a car-​park, but I’ve never managed to park on it! I suspect this is because I visit toddler classes and am always late, and the other parents grab the spots. If you are also tardy then you should be able to find a spot on the other side of Vicarage Road, but it’s a fairly busy road and a bit of a blind corner, so take care.

I went to this place for an information event about childminding. While the event succeeded in putting me off this for ever (way too much legislation and red tape to make it worthwhile for me), I really liked the venue.
It’s a lovely clean and newly refurbished environment. The toilets are clean and almost, dare I say it, enjoyable to use. (I quite often grade the quality of a place by the standard of it’s toilet facilities.)
The room where we were was really pacious and I loved the fact that it was really bright. The furniture was comfy, which is important when you’re on your bottom for long periods of time.
I also looked into booking a room for myself for a project I was thinking about and I thought the price was quite reasonable. As a community venue, it really is a cut above the rest.
