Ofsted 2025

Comments from Ofsted:

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: 

 'Children are happy living at this home. Children have trusted relationships with staff and benefit from staying connected with the adults who cared for them long after children move on from the home. Children make lots of progress while living at the home. They are treated as individuals and are supported to become more independent. This results in children developing essential skills for adulthood. One child said they feel the home has stabilised them.'

' Education is a priority for staff, who provide clear expectations to children about engaging in their education. Staff consistently encourage children to go to school, promoting a positive attitude to learning.  One professional said that staff have provided fantastic support for children and their educational needs.'

How well children and young people are helped and protected:

' Staff help children to understand their own risks. Children are supported to develop essential knowledge, skills, and strategies to keep themselves safe. For example, children are developing better coping strategies to manage difficult emotions.'

The effectiveness of leaders and managers:

 'Leaders and managers are committed to the care and well-being of children. They have high aspirations and are proud of the children’s progress and achievements. Their ethos, and their commitment to the children, is present throughout the staff team.'
