A message from our Directors

“Working as leaders in children’s homes, we were tired with how poor some of the quality of the staff and files being supplied to our children’s homes from other agencies were becoming… agencies providing staff to our service, with little experience, training, incomplete safer recruitment files, minimum engagement with the children and was ‘just a number’.

At that point, we made it our mission and goal to change the social care agency industry! We are passionate in providing the safest and most trained child practitioners to children’s homes, that work in a child-focused, therapeutic ethos. Our vision and aim is to be the most trusted social care agency in the country.”

Why we aren’t your typical childcare agency

What truly sets us apart from other childcare agencies is the depth of experience and expertise within our leadership team. With years spent working hands-on in the residential sector, we’ve gained a real understanding of the ins and outs of providing care in these settings. 

This means we know exactly what practitioners and, most importantly, the children need. We’re not just about ticking boxes; we’re about making sure every child gets the support and nurturing they deserve. So, when you work with us, you’re not just working with a childcare agency—you’re getting a workforce that genuinely cares about making a positive difference in every child’s life.
