Children's residential care

Specialist residential care for children and young people

Ascende Group provides high quality, therapeutically informed residential care for children aged 8 to 18. Care is tailored to each young person, with a clear focus on confidence, education and a route to independent living. At Ascende, everyone has a stake in what we are building. That shared ownership means the people caring for our children are deeply committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for every young person.

Our offer

Care, Therapy & Future — Under One Roof

Ascende brings together three integrated services so that a young person's home, wellbeing and future are planned together, not in isolation.

Ascende Care

Residential care

Small children's homes in established local communities, providing 24 hour care from a consistent, qualified team.

Ascende Therapy

Therapeutic support

An attachment and trauma informed model with clinical oversight, helping each child feel secure enough to make progress.

Ascende Pathways

Education & futures

Education, work experience and life skills that prepare every young person for employment, training and independent living.

Our approach

Tailored to Each Child. Grounded in Evidence.

No two children arrive with the same history or needs. We build an individual plan for every young person, combining nurturing daily care with a therapeutic, attachment informed approach and positive behaviour support.

  • An individual care plan for every child, reviewed with their network
  • Consistent, well trained staff who build trusted relationships
  • Clinical and therapeutic input integrated into everyday care
  • A clear focus on confidence, education and independence
