About Us
As an independent residential care children’s service, we are known for providing the highest quality of service, where a safe environment for children helps them develop normally and discover their true strengths. We’re guided strongly by our moral compass, ensuring that both children and young people who are emotionally and/or mentally challenged in their lives have a nurturing, safe, warm, and welcoming environment that they can truly call “home”.
What makes us different as a Care Home for Children
We love children, especially those with special needs, and those who have gone through traumatic times in their lives.
By creating a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment, our residential care home enables children and young people to recover from past traumas and realise their full growth potential.
We provide an exceptional level of care for children and young adults who for, whatever reason, are unable to live a normal life with their own families. We don’t ask questions. We don’t judge. We just love and care for these young hearts and minds like our own.
What truly sets us apart, however, as a ‘special children’s needs’ home is that we train and encourage the young ones to learn and narrate their own life story; to develop a strong sense of self where they identify goals which lead them to a bright future. We help them build essential skills as well as qualities so that they can be productive and responsible adults later on in life.
Our ethos revolves around an attachment and trauma informed approach. We work with a therapeutic parenting approach based on the principles of Dyadic Developmental Practice (DDP). Our friendly and highly professional carers are trained to look after children and young people with an attitude of Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy (PACE).
This approach, we believe, recognises the impact trauma has on child development and provides a basis for developing attachment security through consistent and attuned approaches.
We welcome you to take a tour of our children’s residential care home to better understand how we help children/young kids smile and build the confidence needed to excel in life.[Schedule a consultation]
Our carers are some of the best-trained children’s therapists and caregivers in the region, responding quickly to children’s needs, no matter what their age, cultural or ethnical background. They are able to build a unique 1-on-1 connection with each child, building a sense of trust and companionship. We understand how young people need to feel secure and confident, knowing that their life will lead to something amazing and beautiful.
Regardless of religious values or gender orientation, we treat every single child and young person like they are truly a part of the Signum House family.
