We are based in the playroom. Everyday we put out many different exciting activities. So during your visit you can still play and have fun. We also provide activities for if you need to rest in bed so there’s no need to be bored.

Any of you who feel unsure of any of the treatments you may need to have can talk to me and we will try to help and support you through these. Either by being there with you in the treatment room or just by talking about it to us.
