Summary:
Bristol Child Contact Centre is a experienced centre which has been operating since 1990 from a church hall in Henleaze, Bristol. The church is close to local shops with public transport nearby. There is no parking at the venue but plenty of off-road parking close by.
The entrance is at the side building to the main church where families are greeted and signed in by a member of staff. The centre has a warm and friendly atmosphere and a large space to play with plenty of toys. Refreshments are also available to purchase.
The centre has a detailed, bright, and inviting 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.
There is a large team of team leaders and volunteers who are committed and friendly. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for supported contact accreditation.
