Went to a parenting group here. Good parking, accessible, spotlessly clean and plenty of informative literature. Only downside is leaving in the evening, in winter, the road leading to it is very dark espacially when walking.

Every appointment I have had has been almost an hour late going in. Also no where to get water or any drink which isn’t nice when you are waiting over an hour most times. Very understaffed.
