Welcome to
Northwest Childcare
Providing loving, caring and compassionate residential care
for children and young people in the Northwest of England
“We aim to care for and guide all children and young people through the difficulties and challenges of life in our safe, loving and caring home to help them achieve their full potential."
At Northwest Childcare, we understand that every child's journey is unique. Based in the Northwest, encompassing Morecambe Bay and the Lake District, with our head offices in Burnley, we provide specialist residential care for children aged 8-17 who face learning difficulties and social, emotional and behavioural challenges.
Our Accommodation
Northwest Childcare operates two exceptional residential homes, each carefully selected and designed to provide safe, comfortable environments where children can feel secure and supported.
Our Children & Shared Values
At Northwest Childcare, every child is valued as an individual. From the moment they arrive, we work to build trusting relationships that form the foundation for their positive growth and development.
Activities & Enrichment
At Northwest Childcare, we believe that varied, engaging activities are essential for children's development, wellbeing, and happiness. Our activity programs are carefully tailored to individual interests and abilities.
"We work hard to provide stability and security, allowing children to relax through feeling safe in their environment."
Creating safe spaces for growth
We know the complexities children face - from building relationships to processing everyday social situations, overcoming anxiety and confusion, and most importantly, believing in themselves to work towards their best possible futures.
Our two carefully designed homes are Ireleth House and Buttermere House.
