Accreditation Summary
Date: 08/09/2025
Summary:
Scodef Ltd (trading as Scodef Care) is a newly accredited centre and an established provider of care services working from bases in Orpington and Dover. The centre itself is in Dover with excellent rail and bus links. The centre does not have onsite parking, but a carpark is a few minutes’ walk away.
The centre has access to five family time rooms, each on the first floor, along with clean toilets and a kitchen area. The rooms differ in size and as such will cater to different size families and age ranges. The rooms are child friendly and are likely to be developed once the service is working with families and gathering feedback.
The centre has a detailed, bright, and inviting website and leaflets with a range of information included on this for the children and 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 service is well managed and is rated as ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) family time accreditation.
