This enriching children’s multi-home is designed to meet the highest standards for specialist placements, offering a truly unique environment for care and development.
Set on 120 acres of stunning countryside, the home is a beautifully converted barn and farm, offering a peaceful and therapeutic setting. With an equestrian centre nearby, the location provides exceptional holistic benefits for both staff and young people. We’re now building a passionate, skilled team ready to make the most of this extraordinary setting and deliver outstanding care.
