Business description

This very significant business was established by our clients some 10 years ago and provides twenty-four hour residential care for children between the ages of eight and eighteen with emotional and behavioural difficulties. With 35 years of residential childcare experience behind them the vendors strongly believe that small, non-institutionalised children's homes that cater for 1 - 2 young people and offer a safe, nurturing environment are the best way to help and support vulnerable and damaged young people and set up the business to provide such a service.

Based in the North West the business presently operates five small homes throughout the region and beyond offering young people not only safety and care but also semi-independent training in life skills, preparing young people for their move to future independent living. All the residential units are in superb condition, are well equipped and meet all the necessary regulations and guidance notes as you would expect from an award winning organisation such as this. The business currently cares for 11 children.

All homes are registered by Ofsted/Care Commission and this business has been awarded the Quality Standard Award by NAIRC, thus demonstrating a high standard of accommodation and childcare. The business also holds the Investors in People Standard which it has had since 2005.

This is a professionally managed, profitable company with a well-established and highly trained caring workforce. It has established an enviable reputation for providing a positive, safe and non-judgmental environment where young people can experience stability and find encouragement to grow and develop and work towards mature adulthood. The business takes children from social services throughout the UK, such is its reputation.
