Points to consider
Staffing is adequate with enough staff on shifts, but no details on team retention or avoiding agency workers.
One staff member told us, 'Yes we have enough staff.'
Activities include outings, garden play and games, but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes.
We observed people taking part in activities. At one point we saw one person playing on the trampoline whilst another was playing a board with a staff member.
