Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: An activities coordinator was employed and worked for five days each week... There were often outside entertainers... Activities were provided on one to one and in group settings... knitted baby bonnets and blankets for the neo-natal unit... went on outings in the mini bus.
Points to consider
There is a coordinator running regular group activities and outings, but nothing specialist or innovative to add real variety to your working day beyond basic care.
