Accreditation Summary
Date: 17/04/2025
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.
Children’s Links are a well-established service with a strong quality for bringing quality to the services that they offer. Following a need in the area the service has opened a centre in the village of Winthorpe, near Newark, based at Winthorpe Community Centre. The village is relatively well connected in terms of transport with local bus rail and taxi services and there is ample parking available.
The centre will use two rooms at the community centre for family time. Various outdoor spaces include a tennis courts, a junior football pitch, and a children’s playpark.
The assessor has no doubt that the children and families fortunate to have access to this centre will enjoy the time they spend there. The centre meets the requirements for the Outreach assessment.
