Summary:
Pyramids Contact Service is an experienced provider of child contact services run by BPD Social Care Ltd. The centre is tucked away at the edge of an industrial park, it has onsite parking and good public transport links including train and bus routes.
The service has six rooms available for contact to take place in, as well as a garden to spend time. Each of the rooms were brightly decorated, clean and at a comfortable temperature. Rooms were observed to have a good choice of games, toys, activities and books. In addition, the service has a kitchen that can be accessed for preparing lunch and drinks.
The service has an easy-to-use website with a range of information for the children and families using the service. Leaflets are also available helping them to anticipate everything from making a referral to the appropriate steps to take if they are unhappy or feel unsafe.
The director and management team boast a wealth of experience and knowledge in social work with a well-organised coordinator running the service. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) contact accreditation.
