Townsend Children's Centre

Reviews

   It should be 0 star. The worst children contact centre. NOT RECOMMENDED. Dirty, dated open space with couple of mismatched sofas charged over £60 per hour. Staffs are rude & unprofessional especially the strange woman called Teresa. I was told that I couldn’t use the toilet facilities from 15 minutes before my 1 hour visit started. Staffs kept locking the doors. I believe prisoners have better visiting time with their children than YMCA children contact centre in Bournemouth. Teresa is a confused woman. She forget she is employed to work at contact centre. Teresa thinks she is the police & the court all rolled into one. Teresa visited my children home address for no obvious reason at all. Not a normal practice by any other context centres. There is no connection whatsoever between where my children live & using the YMCA contact centre for 1 hour every fortnight. Whilst Teresa was at my children’s home address she asked for as much information as possible in relation to our court case which was breach of court order and she took a copy of SECTION 7 reports. That was the second time clear breach of court order committed by Teresa. When I pointed that breach to her she didn’t even apologise. Furthermore, Teresa was very nosy she wanted as much information about my private life as she could get. Finally Teresa wanted to know if myself & my ex-partner are having any contact away from YMCA contact centre. I did pointed out to her that has nothing to do with her & that is not part of her job. Teresa is confused old woman rather than concentrating on her job at the YMCA contact she is breaching court order. In her little world Teresa thinks she knows the law but in reality she has no idea about the legal system.

   It is hard to find it if you never been there as the sind is visible only from the path not from the car park. The place is very good and have a lot interesting activities going on.

   A godsend anytime for families going from just having a newborn onwards. Good facilities with space to play. Genuinely interested and knowledgeable staff. Very helpful when we needed some support with our son in his first weeks. Part of a network so there are other local options available!
