<p> Only 1 week prior to being inspected, a new member of staff began work to lead the management of the caf&eacute;, as we were aware that current staff were struggling to keep up with the paperwork and the systems and processes needed.&nbsp;</p> <p> It was a difficult year in 2025, as the World of Glass, and therefore the caf&eacute; as well, were on the brink of closing due to lack of funding.&nbsp; Therefore management had to focus their time and attention on fundraising and supporting the charity to remain open.&nbsp; However, recognising the problems, and that more attention was needed to keep up our excellent standards in the caf&eacute;, we went out to recruit a manager, whose role would be to improve standards.&nbsp; This person started a week prior to the inspection and therefore wasn&rsquo;t able to make any noticeable changes in time. However, in the 5 weeks since, we have entirely retrained the staff, implemented new systems and processes, and deep cleaned the kitchen. We plan on requesting a re-visit very shortly as we are certain our rating will significantly improve.</p>
