Rossbrook House
Ages 8-17 years
Welcome to Rossbrook House
At Rossbrook House, we provide a safe, nurturing home for boys and girls aged 8 to 17 with social, emotional, and behavioural needs. Being able to offer a warm, supportive environment where children feel valued, respected, and cared for is extremely important to us. We can offer a wide range of psychological therapy to the children living within our home. The psychological therapy provided is fully formulation driven, and all children have the opportunity to collaborate in formulation work. These formulations are also shared with our staff team, this enables all support and therapy at Rossbrook to be trauma informed. All our staff members have weekly reflective practice sessions facilitated by the Consultant Clinical Psychologist to support their thinking and reactions to children and to ensure that the support provided at Rossbrook always remains trauma informed. At Rossbrook, we aim to adopt a ‘good parenting role’ so that every child has stability, feels loved and is nurtured and supported in a consistent way with fair boundaries. We celebrate every child’s achievements and offer praise for the things they do well. We also encourage every child to explore, and to try new things so they can realise their passions and to persevere even when things seem challenging so they can grow, develop their confidence, and build resilience. It is important to us that every child feels respected, accepted, and valued and that they can learn how to reciprocate these feelings so they can build and maintain positive relationships and connections with other people.
Mission & Ethos
“At Rossbrook we believe that every child who walks through our door can achieve great outcomes, realise their true potential, and live a prosocial life when they receive the right support and opportunities from the right people at the right time.
We’re strongly committed to providing a nurturing, and supportive environment within our home so that each child can grow, flourish, and feel safe. Coupled with the memories we hope to create, the life skills we’ll teach and the specialist therapeutic interventions we offer, we believe there are no limits to what our children can be or do.
We cannot go back and change the beginning that some of our children have had, but we are confident that with solid foundations in place, we can give every child the best possible chance to create a future they deserve and can be proud of.”
⭐ About Our Home ⭐
Rossbrook House is a modern and spacious 4-bedroom detached home, set back from the main road with a generous driveway and large, well-maintained garden to the side and rear. For added safety, external CCTV is installed around the property. Inside, the home offers a comfortable living room, a study and games room, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a staff office. The outdoor space includes a trampoline and football nets, encouraging active play and time outdoors.
The home can accommodate up to three children, each with their own single-occupancy bedroom. Every bedroom is thoughtfully furnished with a bed, television, wardrobe, desk, and a private ensuite bathroom. Rossbrook House aims to provide a warm, family-style environment where children feel safe, supported, and at home. They are encouraged to make their rooms their own and to get involved in shaping activities in the garden and communal areas.
Please note that due to the internal layout and presence of steps, the property is not suitable for children with disabilities or severe mobility challenges. Additionally, open days and visits are not currently available due to planning permission restrictions.
