Accreditation Summary
Date: 02/04/2026
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 is a well-known provider with several accredited services in the East Midlands region of England. The service has opened in Braunstone, Leicester following a need in the area. The centre is easily accessible on foot for local families, is well served by public transport links to Leicester city centre and surrounding areas and has free parking available.
The Grove Community Hub provides an appropriate, accessible and neutral venue for supervised family time. The building is well maintained and suitably equipped. *The following images show the spaces available to children using the service, although the centre has been asked to provide alternative images when the rooms are set up as a family time service.
The outreach provision represents a proportionate and well-planned extension of Children’s Links’ existing service and offers a safe, child-centred and professionally managed environment in which supervised family time can take place.
