Summary:
Precious Child Contact Services Ltd has been accredited since 2018 and runs two child contact centres, one in Chingford and one in Hornsey. Their centre in Chingford is located between two commercial properties and is a ten-minute bus ride from Higham Park railway station.
The centre’s family time rooms are well maintained with a good range of equipment available for families to use as well as families bringing their own toys to use. The centre has a small kitchen area that can be used by families supervised. It also has a fair-sized outdoor space which can be used all year long.
