I throughly enjoyed my visit ALL staff were welcoming which in turn made me feel relaxed. I am disabled and was offered help in and out of the building by staff I diddnt feel rushed.
I would also like to say the building is very disabled user friendly its very spacious I had a wheeled walker today but now I've seen the premises even my wheelchair would of been OK. I'm very impressed and am no longer anxious I can't wait until my actual appointment for some ''sassy'' brows as she put it..
