About Us

Creating a Positive Impact

We are an independent provider of residential care and semi-independent accommodation in the North West of England, offering safe, nurturing and structured homes for children and young people with a wide range of complex needs.

Operating since 2023, we provide a number of small, specialist residential homes supporting one or two children per setting. This low-occupancy model enables us to deliver highly individualised care, maintain consistent and trusting relationships between young people and staff, and create environments that are carefully adapted around each child’s needs.

We specialise in supporting children who are subject to Deprivation of Liberty (DoLs) orders under the High Court’s inherent jurisdiction, providing safe and carefully managed environments for children who require enhanced levels of supervision and protection. These arrangements are overseen by our in-house social worker, ensuring that care planning, safeguarding and legal frameworks are closely monitored and implemented appropriately. Our homes are designed to balance safeguarding and risk management while ensuring children are cared for with dignity, compassion and respect.

Our residential homes focus on providing stability, safety and structured support for children who require a consistent and well-managed environment. By maintaining smaller homes and consistent staffing teams, we are able to build strong relationships that help young people feel safe, understood and supported.

In addition to our residential homes, we also provide semi-independent accommodation for young people aged 16–18 who are preparing for adulthood and leaving care. Our semi-independent services include both solo placements and shared homes, allowing us to carefully match young people based on compatibility, support needs and their readiness for independence.

Our semi-independent provision supports young people to develop the practical and emotional skills required for adult life. This includes guidance with education, employment and training, budgeting and managing finances, cooking and maintaining a home, accessing community services, and developing positive routines and relationships.

By offering both specialist residential care and semi-independent accommodation, we are able to support young people at different stages of their journey, providing continuity, stability and the appropriate level of support as they move towards greater independence.

What People Say About Your Care

Feedback that highlights our commitment to care.

Before moving to Greenacre House, there were serious concerns about this young person’s safety, particularly around absconding and risk taking. Since her placement, staff have engaged her well, supported her through a short term DoLs order, and helped her better understand professional concerns. With proactive management, support for family contact and safe future planning, she is now engaging well, enjoying activities, building trusting relationships and making clear progress.

During my visits to Kingfisher House, I have always noticed its warm, welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of community. Staff create a supportive environment where residents feel valued, cared for and encouraged to engage.

The staff have the needs of the children at the heart of everything they do. There communication with school is excellent and nothing is ever too much trouble. If all children’s homes were run by staff like Ben, children in care would have a much more positive experience.
