Nurturing Care for Children 5-17
Comprehensive support tailored to each child's unique needs
At ABI CHILDREN'S HOME LIMITED we stand at the forefront of providing comprehensive services to address the unique needs of children with emotional and behavioural difficulties in the United Kingdom. Our mission is rooted in the belief that every child deserves an opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
Comprehensive support across all aspects of a child's development and wellbeing
Our team of experienced professionals conducts thorough assessments to understand the root causes of challenging behaviours. This enables us to create individualized plans that address specific needs and circumstances.
We understand the integral role families play in a child's development. Our services actively involve and support families in implementing strategies at home, creating a collaborative and consistent approach to behaviour management.
We understand every child is different, so we tailor our care and support packages to meet individual needs. This includes considering complex care needs to enhance quality of life and promote independence.
We incorporate everything that is important to children and young people, and work closely with their families and other professionals involved in their care, to provide truly person-centred complex care.
We support children to attend school or education that is right for them and work closely with schools and professionals to ensure their learning needs are met alongside their emotional wellbeing.
We work with social services, healthcare professionals, and other agencies to ensure joined-up support that addresses all aspects of a child's wellbeing and development.
Our approach to care is guided by PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) and Positive Behaviour Support, encouraging positive choices and building trusting relationships:
We use humour and lightness to build connections and reduce tension in challenging moments.
We accept children unconditionally and validate their feelings, even when we need to set boundaries on behaviour.
We explore the reasons behind behaviour with genuine interest, seeking to understand rather than judge.
We demonstrate understanding and compassion for what children are experiencing and feeling.
We recognise that many children have experienced trauma. Our staff are trained in trauma-informed approaches that create safety, build trust, and promote healing through consistent, compassionate care.
Practical strategies to help children thrive emotionally and socially
Through consistent, reliable care and positive relationships, we help children develop secure attachments and confidence in adults.
We teach children how to recognize and manage their emotions, developing coping strategies for challenging moments.
Predictability helps children feel safe. We provide clear routines and structure that give children security and understanding.
We focus on teaching and reinforcing positive behaviours rather than punishment, helping children make better choices.
We help children develop confidence, self-esteem, and the resilience needed to face challenges and setbacks.
From practical skills like cooking and cleaning to life management skills like budgeting and time management, we prepare children for independence.
Our expert support workers complete a comprehensive training model that ensures they have the specialist skills required to support children with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Our staff are continuously trained in best practice approaches to provide the highest quality care.

This includes interviewing, reference checks, DBS checks, skills evaluation, screening of all employees, and training. We prioritize safeguarding and the wellbeing of the children in our care.
