GCSE RESULTS ARE IN!
August 2023
Well our boy has absolutely smashed his GCSE's and received above the passing grades needed for college with 5's and 6's. Our child came to us in August 22, having missed large amount of education. He was unable to attend mainstream education and it was just accepted he would not gain any qualifications due to this and being a looked after child who has faced several moves. We found a provision to suit our child's needs and sourced a tutor to provide extra support within the home as we believed our child could achieve just the same as other children. Today after many trials and tribulations and a lot of support and encouragement, we recieved the news we had all been waiting for. We could not be prouder of what he has achieved but never for a moment did we doubt him!
The Meadows are OUTSTANDING
August 2023
We are so extremely excited and happy to announce that Stacy Geddes and her Meadows team have absolutely smashed their 2 day Ofsted inspection and received a very well deserved 'Outstanding' We could not be prouder of you all as a company and we cannot wait to share quotes from the official report!

Make Care Incredible
May 2023
Safe Haven attended the national Children's Homes Qualitiy - Make Care Incredible - with love as part of the deal national gathering in May. This was an amazing event full of key note speakers and helpful information. Our very own Ben Thomas produced and delivered a workshop about how males can safely show love in Residential Children's Homes and completely smashed it!
Steven Russell Visit
April 2023
Here at Safe Haven, our children and teams have had the pleasure of Steven Russell visiting them to spend time with them. Steven created dream boards and sand keep sakes with the children and they will treasure these. I know that the children felt connected with Steven's experience and his history of being looked after as a child himself.

100% GOOD or OUTSTANDING
What an amazing week! Not only 1 but 2 very welcomed inspections in our homes!
Stacy Geddes and her team at The Meadows have achieved a Good in their very first inspection. The home has been open for only 4 months, a new Registered Manager, a new team and 2 of the countries most complex children later. No recommendations or requirements. We could not be prouder!
Polly Hawnt and her team have had some of the most progression we have seen for some of the most highly complex children they have supported. The Nurture and care they showed throughout came across as clear as day when the inspection was taking place! They also received a Good with no recommendations or requirements and so very well deserved!
We love our Safe Haven Heroes! ❤
