Accreditation Summary
Date: 15/03/2021
Summary:
The centre was very well prepared for the reaccreditation visit. All the necessary paperwork was available to the assessor via Dropbox. The coordinator has excellent organisational skills to prepare an excellent portfolio that was available to the assessor in plenty of time prior to the centre visit.
The assessor was met by the coordinator on the day and introduced to the team leader and volunteers on duty. The coordinator showed the assessor around the premises. The assessor was able to view, from a distance the 4 families in their contact session.
The children were engaging in the activities and toys the parents had brought along. It was noted by all volunteers, coordinator and assessor that since the families are required to bring in their own toys, the children appear to engage more with their parent.
The families are clear on restrictions and adhere to them. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with plenty of laughter from the families as they engage in play. The families expressed their pleasure of the Centre reopening and the high standards and procedures put in place regard to Covid 19. The coordinator demonstrated that she has good relationships with families and volunteers.
The coordinator as previously mentioned along with the support of committee members and volunteers worked extremely hard to ensure procedures and the correct paperwork are of a high standard, ensuring the safety for all who attend the centre.
