Adventure Care - Children's Care Home
Adventure Care was established in 1999 and is a registered children's home. Registered with OFSTED, Adventure Care is a licensed Adventure Activity Centre (AALA). Where a structured programme of education, outdoor education, activities and therapeutic support for each individual child is designed to identify a child's strengths and build on them by creating achievable challenges.
Placements are provided for children and young people from 9 years of age of either gender and from all ethnic backgrounds. Placements are for short term, mid term and long term placements, with no restrictions in duration.
Adventure Care is a specialist Equine Therapy provider to a wide range of services users. We specialize in Equine Assisted growth and learning (EAGAD) which can incorporate psychotherapy.
Adventure Care is a registered Independent School that specialises in Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties and as such can enrole children with Statement for Education. Education is considered a priority.
Typically children placed at Hilltop Cottage have missed out on schooling for prolonged periods prior to placement. Education is provided within their home environment by our qualified teaching staff.
Adventure Care uses Outdoor education alongside the therapeutic methods of the staff and the education programme to identify the young people's strengths and help them to reach achievable goals.
