Summary:
Bold Moves Ltd is an established and experienced provider of family time and has been operating since 2013. The centre in Stevenage is a new service providing Cafcass ‘Improving Child and Family Arrangements’ (ICFA) related work only. The building is leased from The Quakers with the building solely used by the centre during their opening times. The centre is close to public transport links and has onsite parking for those who drive. Where appropriate to go into the community, the town centre gardens are just opposite the centre, and the town centre is a few minutes’ walk away.
The centre has lots of natural light with spacious rooms. Due to being refurbished it was not possible to visualise how the rooms may appear to families. Parents will be encouraged to bring toys and activities to their sessions for familiarity.
The centre has a good website with a range of information included on this for the families that may use the centre. This information helps them to anticipate everything from making a referral to the appropriate steps to take if they are unhappy or feel unsafe.
Staff were friendly and approachable. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) contact accreditation.
