Supporting Children in Shaping Their Future

At Oak Children’s Care, we want to make a positive difference in every child’s life. Our mission is to help young people thrive, to achieve the very best they can and to be happy. Our dedicated staff teams aim to make a difference, however big or small, to children’s lives every single day.

Our teams

Our teams are kind, nurturing people who all understand the importance of creating a family atmosphere within our homes. We laugh together and we celebrate achievements together. When there are setbacks, we pick each other up and go again. Our Young People know that they can rely on us to be there through the good days and the tough times. 

Irrespective of their background, we help all Young People learn to understand and manage the impact of any experience of trauma and abuse. We support our Young People to develop resilience and skills to prepare them to live independently as an adult and reach their full potential. 

Our aim is to support Young People to take control of their lives and make positive choices for their future. With the right care and nurture, they are less likely to make negative choices and engage in negative behaviour.

In our homes, we work to build attuned relationships with our Young People so they know we are all on their team by working together to help them lead full and happy lives. We empower Young People to make positive choices, enhance their confidence and promote independent living skills which will enable them to thrive as contributing members of society.

Specialist Care Tailored to Individual Needs

At Oak Children’s Care, we recognise that every young person is unique, with different experiences, challenges, and aspirations. That’s why we specialise in supporting those with:

We strive to understand the unique needs of each young person in our care, empowering them to overcome their challenges, reach their full potential, and achieve the best possible outcomes. We firmly believe that it is never too late to make positive changes and create a meaningful impact in their lives.

To fulfil these objectives, we recognise that young people require:

Opportunity

At Oak Children’s Care, we believe that every young person deserves a fresh start and a chance to succeed. Opportunity is about more than just providing access to education and support, it’s about creating a pathway for young people to unlock their potential and step into a brighter future.

Providing a Pathway for Growth

We offer a nurturing environment where young people are given the space and resources to explore new opportunities. Whether it’s through education, life skills development, or emotional support, we ensure every young person has the tools they need to thrive. Our staff work alongside young people to help them recognise their strengths and empower them to pursue goals that were once out of reach.

Opening Doors to the Future

Every opportunity is a chance for personal growth. By providing access to skills training, emotional development, and practical life experiences, we help young people discover the endless possibilities that lie ahead. At Oak Children’s Care, we don’t just give young people opportunities, we teach them how to seize them, laying the foundation for a fulfilling future.

Achievement

At Oak Children’s Care, we celebrate every success, no matter how small, because each one is a reflection of progress and personal growth. Achievement is not just about the end result, it’s about the journey, the lessons learned, and the milestones reached.

Recognising Progress

We empower young people to set personal goals, and we provide the support they need to work towards those goals at their own pace. Whether it's academic achievement, building life skills, or emotional growth, we ensure every step forward is acknowledged and celebrated. Achievements are not just external, it's about the internal growth that makes each young person feel proud of their journey.

Fostering Self-Worth

By highlighting and celebrating achievements, we help young people build confidence and a sense of self-worth. As young people see the impact of their efforts, they gain motivation to continue pursuing their dreams, setting new challenges, and striving to achieve even more.

Kindness

Kindness is the cornerstone of all that we do at Oak Children’s Care. It is the foundation of building trust, establishing strong relationships, and fostering a safe, nurturing environment where children feel valued and supported.

Cultivating a Compassionate Environment

We lead by example, teaching young people that kindness begins with respect, empathy, and understanding. Our team’s approach is based on creating a compassionate atmosphere where young people are encouraged to treat others with kindness and where everyone’s needs are met with care. This kindness extends not just to the young people but to all those involved in their care and development.

Building Positive Relationships

Kindness is essential for developing meaningful connections. At Oak Children’s Care, we believe that when young people feel loved and respected, they are more likely to develop positive relationships with peers and adults alike. This creates an environment where young people feel safe to express themselves and grow in confidence.

Commitment

Commitment at Oak Children’s Care means more than just providing care, it’s about making a lasting impact in every young person’s life. Our team is fully dedicated to offering consistent, high-quality care that supports each young person’s growth, no matter the challenges they face.

Consistent Support

Our team’s commitment to each child is unwavering. We provide a stable, supportive environment where young people know they are valued and protected. Whether it's daily care, emotional support, or helping young people achieve their goals, we are committed to standing by them every step of the way.

Long-Term Investment

Commitment also means investing in the long-term success of each young person. We provide the tools and support needed to help young people transition into independent, confident individuals. Our commitment doesn’t end when a young person leaves our care, it continues as we ensure they are fully prepared to succeed in life.

Acceptance

Acceptance is vital to creating a safe, inclusive space where every young person feels valued for who they are. At Oak Children’s Care, we embrace each and every young person’s unique background, experiences, and personality, fostering an environment where differences are celebrated.

Embracing Diversity

We celebrate the individuality of every young person, understanding that their personal experiences shape who they are. Our staff create an inclusive environment where young people feel safe to express their true selves without fear of judgment. At Oak Children’s Care, acceptance is the foundation of a supportive, diverse community where everyone belongs.

Building Self-Confidence

By fostering an environment of acceptance, we help young people feel more secure and confident. They know that they are valued for who they are, which empowers them to be their authentic selves. This confidence forms the basis for personal growth, positive relationships, and a strong sense of belonging.

Resilience

At Oak Children’s Care, we believe resilience is key to overcoming life’s challenges. We teach young people to navigate adversity with strength, learn from setbacks, and approach obstacles with a positive mindset. Resilience is not just about bouncing back from hardship, it’s about growing stronger through it.

Teaching Coping Strategies

We provide young people with the skills to manage their emotions, solve problems, and deal with difficult situations. Through support and guidance, we teach young people how to approach challenges with resilience, viewing obstacles as opportunities for growth.

Building Emotional Strength

Resilience is about more than overcoming challenges, it’s about building emotional strength for the future. We equip young people with the tools to face adversity with a positive outlook and a belief in their own abilities. By fostering resilience, we help young people become more self-reliant and capable of facing life’s challenges with confidence.

Empowerment

Empowerment means giving young people the tools to take control of their lives and shape their futures. At Oak Children’s Care, we focus on building self-esteem, confidence, and independence, ensuring that all young people leave our care ready to navigate the world with a sense of purpose.

Encouraging Independence

We believe in providing young people with the support and opportunities they need to develop independence. From setting goals to making decisions about their future, we empower young people to take charge of their lives. Our team offers guidance and encouragement, but ultimately, we encourage young people to take ownership of their decisions and actions.

Building Confidence

Empowerment also means fostering a sense of self-belief. By recognising their strengths, overcoming challenges, and making progress, young people gain the confidence they need to move forward in life. Our goal is to ensure that every young person leaves Oak Children’s Care with the belief that they can succeed and make their own choices with purpose.
