Working with up to 6 children under Local Authority care, we look after male or females between the ages of eight and up to eighteen years of age on a medium to long-term basis.
Our staff work to understand how a child's past experiences have impacted on their lives to help re-build their self-esteem, enabling them to go on to lead healthier and happier lives.
We work tirelessly to provide them with a safe and secure environment in order to help them to develop and grow.
With a full curriculum in our on-site Ofsted inspected school, children at the home can also benefit from being the sole pupils and a high teacher to student ratio.
Continuity of defined boundaries at home and school and being in a safe environment also gives them stability and a golden opportunity to progress.
Focusing on their individual interests and talents helps the children engage with the learning process, laying a firmer foundation on which to build a brighter future for themselves.

Ofsted’s Verdict is Good
It takes hard work and dedication from all staff alongside robust systems, policies and procedures to earn Ofsted’s approval.
The latest Ofsted inspection returning a ‘Good’ verdict is a boost for children and staff. Learning from shortfalls of the past revealed to Ofsted that we strive for continuous improvement.
The majority of our children engage well in education at our on-site school, and it is our duty to nurture and lead them towards a better life.

Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
He learns to find love in the world.
