News and insights

What we have been working on.

Short, honest updates. Pre-launch, most of our news is about preparation rather than performance, and we would rather say so than inflate it.

Preparation
In progress

Building the foundations

We are in the process of preparing our first home: recruitment, induction, safeguarding frameworks, and the small choices that turn a building into somewhere a young person could actually live.

Commissioners interested in our availability are welcome to contact us directly. We will update this page as registration milestones are reached.

People
Ongoing

Investing in our team's future

We fund the Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare in full, studied in work time with a named mentor and clear milestones. Level 5 is funded for colleagues progressing into senior and management roles.

Reflective supervision is built into the rota rather than squeezed into stolen half-hours. If you want to do this work seriously, we want to make that possible.

Regulation
In progress

Registering with Ofsted

Registration under the Children's Homes (England) Regulations 2015 is in progress. We are preparing our Statement of Purpose, policies, staffing structure, and the physical home itself against the nine Quality Standards.

We will not publish a rating or imply one before it is awarded. This page, and our footer, will reflect our registration status honestly throughout.
