Our Children's Home

A warm feeling is highly attached to our home for looked after children and young people aged 8 – 17 years old with emotional, behavioural difficulties. The children and young people in our care home will have brilliant, optimistic spaces to call their own, with the freedom to create the kind of environment they feel good in. This home is specifically designed for the needs of the children and young people in mind, making sure to create a homely space for them to flourish.

For children and young people with emotional and behavioural issues this kind of environment can be amazingly therapeutic. Therefore, our fantastic team in our home is dedicated to giving the highest quality of care and facilitating the ongoing development of the children’s skills and knowledge as well as promoting their concentration. A vital aim of this home is to ensure that we provide constant, intensive individual attention, stability, and support to children who have complex needs requiring a specialised environment and levels of care.

About Us

Ellie Divine aims to make a positive, lasting impact in the lives of the children and young people placed in the Anvil. Our person-centred approach endows children, young people, and families to access a safe and fulfilling future. We pay attention to detail, hold outstanding therapeutic programmes, and provide specialist training for our carers and staff support our aim of upgrading the self-esteem, confidence, life chances, achievements, and placement stability of every young person in our care.

Our work embraces many specialist disciplines. For this shared purpose, we actively engage in enabling each one of the people in our care to achieve their personal best as defined by them. We offer opportunities for them to learn new skills, become more independent and try new experiences. As well as providing a full itinerary of in-house activities, such as sensory sessions carried out in the sensory room, we also encourage them to become active members of the community. This can include visiting local shops, cafes, and leisure facilities and going on holidays.

Above all, we aim to ensure that all employees are provided the same concern, respect, and caring attitude within the organisation.

Our Vision:
Commit to deliver outstanding provisions.
We are always looking for new ways to exceed the standards laid out in the Children’s Home Regulations while providing the safest environment for our Children and Young People to learn and grow.
Develop our staff into residential leaders of tomorrow.
We aim to develop the next generation of residential leaders through facilitating an ever-learning environment where personalised training plans, mentorship programmes and learning led supervisions are at the forefront of our practice. We will use all the tools at our disposal to develop all our staff into thoughtful, reflective, and child-focused practitioners, carers, and leaders.
Create warm, modern, and welcoming homes.
We aim to provide our children and young people with warm, and welcoming homes. We will do this through the leasing and refurbishment of suitable properties, using high quality furniture and fittings and most importantly, having our managers, staff, children, and young people have their say in the decoration of the home. With a personal touch in decorations and furnishings comes a pride of place.
Raise the standard of children’s and young people’s home.
We aim to raise the standard of Children’s and Young people’s Homes through a triangular base approach that encompasses pro-active and reflective learning, innovation, and the constant pursuit for the best possible outcomes. By utilising all the tools at our disposal, we can help raise the standards within Ellie Divine’s Children’s and Young People’s homes and become a model for Children’s Homes of the future.

We offer a wide range of
care and services - for everyone.
