Available Accommodation!
At Oakley House, we provide a family living environment where young people can learn to value and develop personal relationships by providing situations and experiences that encourage trust, self-esteem, and mutual respect.
Our child-centered environment enables young people to receive positive role modeling and guidance through continuity of reliable relationships and consistent nurturing care.
We create a safe, non-judgmental environment to encourage age-appropriate development and positive future outcomes.
Our aim is to support, guide and assist young people in making their own decisions about their lives, and to teach them how to replace negative, often self-destructive behavior patterns with alternative methods of coping.
We encourage young people to recognize their own strengths, individuality, and potential for development and independence.
With this in mind, we work closely with the local authority and other agencies to ensure the stability and well-being of the placement, along with optimal opportunities for the young person.

Oakley House Children's Home operates as a private children’s home that works in partnership with local authorities to provide a specialist service for children and young people. When local authorities are unable to place a child with one of their own foster carers, they seek the services of homes like Oakley House Children's Home to find a suitable home for children. By providing this extra support, we help local authorities meet the demands placed on care services and ensure that children and young people receive the care they deserve.
