We will provide school uniforms and ensure we attend sports days, parent's evenings, and any other school event.
Therapeutic provision: The team will work alongside the therapist to ensure we can continue working together; the therapist will guide and support the staff in delivering the input to meet the needs of the young people we care for.

Claybridge Care provides a safe, loving, stimulating and fun home where children can express themselves. We work hard to build resilience in the young people, prepare them for adulthood, and help them understand their life journey.

We create an environment where children can be children, under the supervision of a trained and experienced team and where they are actively encouraged to form good habits, routines, and relationships in and outside of the home.
