Accreditation Summary
Date: 27/08/2025
Summary:
This was an ‘Outreach’ service assessment which is linked to the accreditation of another service, and is therefore linked in terms of policy, procedure, forms, and templates. The purpose of this assessment was to ensure that the venue was appropriate for its purpose.
Chances Gives Choices Ltd is an established service provider operating across the South of England. The service has opened in the village of Ripley, close to Guildford and Woking, following a need in the area. They are using the village hall which has onsite parking and close transport links. Ripley is a charming village with plenty of shops, restaurants and a local recreation ground making this an ideal location for community sessions.
The centre evidenced some toys and activities during the assessment visit. It is envisaged this selection will grow as the service settles in, additionally parents will be encouraged to bring their own activities.
The coordinator worked well with the assessor during this process. The centre meets the requirements for the Outreach assessment.
