Oakley House Children's Home
Brentwood
All children have their own lockable bedrooms, which can be personalised to reflect their own identity and encourage a sense of belonging in our Brentwood home.
Learn moreOur residential home is managed by a team of appropriately qualified staff, and has been purposely set up as a children’s residential home for young people of either gender who at any one time are unable to live at home.
Our home provides short-term to long-term residential placement for young people, catering for a plethora of children in a supervised setting at any one time.
At Oakley House Children’s Home, we take our responsibility to care for vulnerable children,
young people, and adults very seriously.
Our vision, mission, and promise are the foundation of our culture, and we strive to embody them
in everything we do.
Safety is the top priority at Oakley House Children’s Home, as we understand that the children in our care may have experienced trauma.
Learn MoreReliability is a core value we hold dear. Children in our care need stability, consistency, and trust.
Learn MoreSupport is at the heart of everything we do, ensuring every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Learn MoreAt Oakley House, we provide a family living environment where young people can learn to value and develop personal relationships by providing situations and experiences that encourage trust, self-esteem, and mutual respect.
Our child-centered environment enables young people to receive positive role modeling and guidance through continuity of reliable relationships and consistent nurturing care.
We create a safe, non-judgmental environment to encourage age-appropriate development and positive future outcomes.
Our aim is to support, guide and assist young people in making their own decisions about their lives, and to teach them how to replace negative, often self-destructive behavior patterns with alternative methods of coping.
We encourage young people to recognize their own strengths, individuality, and potential for development and independence.
With this in mind, we work closely with the local authority and other agencies to ensure the stability and well-being of the placement, along with optimal opportunities for the young person.

Oakley House Children’s Home admits children through a referral process managed by social services.
Scroll down to learn more about the process, or visit the dedicated page on our website to get all the information you need as well as the criteria for admission.
A Pre-admission and Risk assessment are conducted by social services, along with a discussion by an internal panel about the suitability of each placement.
After a successful pre-admission process, Social Services will provide us with a referral enabling us to admit the young persons to our safe and secure accommodation.
If there is a place available, a key worker is appointed who spends time with the child or young person to explore their understanding & expectations of the placement.
An induction process then begins, which can include an overnight stay. If there are no vacancies at the time of referral, the child’s name can be placed on a waiting list.
