 Our Aims:
  • To provide as home-like a place as possible, which may be different from what children have experienced so far in life, where children can experience nurturing, safety and a sense of belonging and being cared for.
  • To develop ‘re-parenting’ relationships with our children which are nurturing and therapeutic
  • To be mindful of how our children communicate, supporting them to understand their inner world, their past and link them to their thoughts and feelings.
  • To understand the importance of language and how this impacts our children and our culture.
  • To ensure each of our children goes to sleep at night in their own bedroom which is warm, clean, safe and cared for.
  • To provide rhythms and routines which promote safety and wellbeing in our children.
  • To provide an environment where coercion and physical restraint are unnecessary.
  • To ensure the adults looking after our children are positive role models.
  • To ensure our children are engaged with education both formal and informal and that achievement becomes a part of everyday life.
  • To work in partnership with the wider helping team to ensure their social, emotional and educational needs are met and they are offered aspirations for the future.
  • To support the adults who are caring for our children both practically through training and creating a learning environment. Support adults emotionally through support and supervision.
  • Understand the wider process and continually find ways to safely work through and break patterns of rejection for kids
