The Woodlands is a semi-rural, 10-bedroom house in North Greater Manchester, registered for boys and girls aged 5-12 upon admission. The large, welcoming house provides children who have experienced trauma and abuse the opportunity to live in a therapeutic environment. The comfortable rooms are decorated in soft pastel colours in line with the Restorative Parenting® Recovery Programme. Children are encouraged to personalise their rooms to make them feel like their own safe spaces.

There are excellent railways and motorway links, so travel is easy from any part of the country. Activities play a prominent role for the children, with the woodland area surrounding the home playing a key role in keeping the children entertained.

The Woodlands is a therapeutic home specifically designed, furnished, and managed to optimally deliver the Restorative Parenting® Recovery Programme and ensure children placed in the home achieve outstanding outcomes and recovery from childhood trauma. At The Woodlands, we address the emotional, behavioural, social, and developmental needs of the child, enabling them to become well-rounded and happy.

The Woodlands is an integrated home with a wide range of therapeutic interventions and an onsite school to achieve the best outcome for the child. On-site education is provided at our DFE-registered, OFSTED-rated “Good” Woodlands School.
