What makes us different

Our Little Loving Care homes truly live up to their name: they are small, welcoming only one or two children in each home which helps us to provide truly personalised, child-centered care; loving and creating warm environments where every child feels valued and cherished. We employ the most caring and compassionate adults who go above and beyond to support each child. We take pride in our unique approach, focusing on understanding how factors like trauma, attachment styles, development, disabilities, and neurodiversity influence behaviours, so we can tailor our care to meet each child’s individual needs.
