Summary:
Milton Keynes Children’s Contact Centre is an established centre run by a small not-for-profit organisation located in Milton Keynes which uses a council family centre building. The centre has local bus links, is approximately 4 miles from the railway station and is just off the A5, with numerous parking spaces for visitors on site. There are several local parks, shopping facilities and cafes within close proximity to the centre, all within walking distance.
The centre is warm and welcoming with a variety of play areas for families to use. The rooms were set out with a variety of resources suitable for the ages of the children visiting the centre that day (volunteers shared they ensure suitable resources are accessible based on the individual families booked in). A secure outdoor space was available, with play sand and natural growing areas.
The centre has a detailed 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.
Volunteers are highly experienced and welcoming. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for supported family time accreditation.
