Summary:
Church Street Child Contact Centre is located in Slough and has been running since 2006. Slough has good public transport links. The main shopping centre, several cafes and other shops are 5-minutes’ walk from the centre. A trampoline park is 15-minutes’ walk away and local parks are 15-minutes’ drive.
The contact area is bright, inviting and welcoming. The centre has an excellent selection of equipment for all ages of children. Families can bring in toys for their children if they wish but the volunteers on duty will ensure that the toys are suitable and safe.
The centre has a detailed, bright, and inviting website and leaflets with a range of information included on these 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.
The co-ordinator and volunteers create a welcoming environment, and it was clear to the assessor that the children appeared to be enjoying their time and space at the centre with their parent. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for supported contact accreditation.
