Overall Rating
Excellent
When you approach the Yard it looks like many other modern buildings. What comes as a surprise is what greets you inside. You enter into a bright, colourful, space with a kitchen, sensory area, soft play and much more. All of which overlooks the most amazing play area complete with traffics lights, climbing frames, and more. Unexpectedly, all of this is accessible so everyone can join in!
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Disabled access is integral to the Yard and starts with level access to the wide front door. The door is easy to use and takes you into the main space which is on one level with plenty of space. Off this area are other rooms, including the large kitchen, all wheelchair accessible. Doors lead out into the outdoor play space with tarmac paths and ramps to the various themed areas.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
You can park right outside the front door. Accessible buses pass along the nearby streets.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
There are several accessible toilets each with different layouts and facilities. Spacious, clean and well equipped.
Staff
Excellent

Additional Information
A great place, space, and model for how accessibility can be achieved.
