Who We Are

Affinity Childrens Services Ltd was established in 2022. It shares its central support services, working in collaboration, each providing social care solutions in their own specific areas.

Our Approach

We provide therapeutic care to children and young people between the ages of 7 and 18 in our residential children's homes. These homes are fully registered under the Care Standards Act 2000, and we work within the legal framework set out by the Children's Homes Regulations and Quality Standards 2015, as well as other associated legislation. Our regulatory body is Ofsted, which conducts regular inspections to ensure we meet the highest standards of care.


At Forest View, we create a nurturing and structured environment designed to support each child’s unique needs. Our care is trauma-informed, focusing on empathy, understanding, and building trust to address emotional and behavioral challenges. We prioritize fostering positive relationships, encouraging personal growth, and providing individualized support for each child’s cultural, emotional, and educational needs. Through proactive strategies and restorative practices, we guide children in developing positive behaviors and building self-esteem. Our team works collaboratively with families, social workers, and therapeutic professionals to ensure holistic care, creating a safe and empowering space where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

The child or young person's education is provided through the Local Education Authority (LEA) and some of the young people in our care will be subject to an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP).


All of our homes are large, detached properties that provide our residents with full access to local amenities within their community. This ensures that they can expect the same chances and aspirations as children and young people of similar age who are not in the care system.


Each child and young person will have their own individual plans tailored to meet their particular needs while in our homes. These plans are followed by our entire staff to ensure a high standard of service delivery that safeguards every child and young person in our care.

Our Mission

Our mission at Affinity Childrens Services Ltd is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for children and young people. We are dedicated to supporting their emotional, social, and academic growth while addressing individual needs with compassion and understanding. We strive to promote each child's well-being and personal development through trauma-informed care, fostering positive relationships, and encouraging ambitions for their future. We are committed to providing personalized care that respects and values each child's unique identity, culture, and background. Collaboration with families, professionals, and the wider community ensures holistic support for the children in our care. Through high standards of care, a skilled team, and a commitment to ongoing learning, we aim to help every child achieve their full potential and prepare for a brighter, independent future.
