The home provides a welcoming environment for children to relax and play. They have easy access to books, computer consoles, toys and a ‘chill out’ room that they can use at their leisure. The children’s bedrooms are personalised with their belongings and they are all decorated to their choice. This helps the children to feel at home and develop a sense of belonging.

“During the time [name of child ] has lived at the home he has benefited from the nurturing care provided. This has enabled him to understand and manage his emotions as well as providing him with stability and a sense of belonging. “ (Ofsted March 24)The children’s progress and experience of living in this home are exceptional. They continue to make excellent progress in all areas of their development. This is because the children receive care and support from a nurturing and dedicated staff team. The standard of care that the children receive is excellent and mirrors that provided by a good parent. (Ofsted November 2023)
