Who we are

Therapeutic care grounded in clear, consistent parenting

We deliver a consistent, nurturing model of care grounded in clear parenting principles and evidence-informed practice. We create a safe and predictable environment in which young people can address and resolve the emotional and behavioural needs identified in their individual care plans.

We support young people to understand their rights and responsibilities, develop pro-social behaviour, and make sense of the events that led to them being looked after — working collaboratively with professionals, families and the placing authority every step of the way.

We champion each child’s educational potential, working closely with schools, Virtual School teams and SEN professionals.

Health & Wellbeing

Detailed, written Holistic Health Plans address each young person’s physical, psychological, emotional and cultural needs.

Enjoyment & Achievement

Enriching activities, celebrated milestones and annual holidays make every stay an opportunity for growth.
