Information about this children’s home

This children’s home is registered to accommodate up to six children. The home’s statement of purpose states that it admits children who need therapeutic care and support. The home is the only home owned and operated by this small, private organisation. Ofsted was notified in June 2019 that the registered manager post is now vacant and that a manager, who is yet to register with Ofsted, is now in post.

This monitoring visit

This monitoring visit took place to monitor compliance with the restriction of accommodation notice which was served on 14 May 2019. The four children who have lived at the home prior to the restriction notice being served continue do so. No additional children have been admitted. The environment of the home was clean, tidy and orderly. However, the lounge was locked, and staff confirmed that this occurred each day during school hours. This does not support a homely environment. It does not ensure that any restrictions on children using communal areas of the home are regularly reviewed and kept to a minimum.
