A home that feels like home.
Decorum Care Homes provides steady, nurturing residential care for children and young people in England. We are a small, considered home built around consistency, belonging, and the belief that every child deserves to be treated with dignity.
Three audiences, one quiet promise.
For local authorities
Placement enquiries, our Statement of Purpose, matching criteria, and multi-agency working.
Careers
A small home, generous ratios, funded Level 3 Diploma, reflective supervision, and long-term commitment to your career.
For families and social workers
How we welcome a child, keep them safe, and support ongoing contact with the people who matter to them.
Small home. Steady team. Time that does not rush.
We care for a small number of young people so that our team can hold the detail: the routine, the relationships, and the small repairs that matter after difficult days. Our practice is trauma-aware and attachment-attuned, and our staffing ratios reflect that.
Dignity
Young people are addressed, consulted, and kept informed like the capable people they are.
Consistency
A core team, a predictable rhythm, and handovers designed to protect continuity.
Belonging
A home that holds photographs, possessions, and the ordinary textures of daily life.
Safety
Clear boundaries, transparent practice, and safeguarding that young people themselves can see.
Decorum Care Homes Limited is registered in England. Registration with Ofsted under the Children's Homes (England) Regulations 2015 is in progress. Our Statement of Purpose is available to commissioners on request.
What we have been working on.
Building the foundations
Preparing our first home: recruitment, induction, safeguarding frameworks, and the small choices that turn a building into somewhere a young person could actually live.
Investing in our team's future
Fully funded Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare from day one, and Level 5 funded for colleagues moving into senior and management roles.
Registering with Ofsted
A short note on our approach to registration, governance, and the standards we hold ourselves to ahead of our first inspection.
If you are considering Decorum for a young person, we would rather talk than send brochures.
A short call with our Registered Manager is usually the fastest way to know if we are the right home.
