Established in 2013
Amegreen Children’s Services has supported children and young people since 2013 through a community of children’s homes across West Berkshire and Hampshire. Our homes support children with social, emotional and mental health needs and children with a range of learning disabilities.
We know that for many children, stability and trust take time. That is why we focus on creating calm, nurturing homes where relationships come first and every young person is supported in a way that makes sense to them. Care is shaped around individual needs and care plans, with consistent routines, clear boundaries and plenty of encouragement along the way.
All of our homes are set in peaceful settings with access to local communities, alongside outdoor space and countryside, giving children and young people the chance to reset, feel grounded and build confidence at their own pace.
To request the ‘Statement of Purposes’ or Ofsted Reports for any of our homes, please contact the head office on Tel: 0118 334 8777 or email enquiries@amegreencs.co.uk.

Learning Disabilities
Long-term Placements
Based in Hampshire
Our Therapeutic Approach
At Amegreen Children’s Services we recognise that trauma early on in life leads to many difficulties, including building relationships and having positive experiences. We work with developmental trauma, attachment theory and PACE to support our young people to explore the world safely and re-build their self-worth and confidence, so they can go on to achieve their individual ambitions.
However, embedded in day-to-day routines is our attitude to therapeutic parenting, which all staff members are trained in by a DDP trained professional, this training is put on throughout the year to refresh staff’s knowledge and support them to reflect on challenges they face within their role.
Through the therapeutic input from staff and therapists, and through providing safe and nurturing homes, we aim for young people to develop a sense of identity and a sense of belonging while they continue to strive for the best possible future.
Tailored Therapy Plan
We work with a clinical psychologist and other external therapists to ensure each young person has a tailored therapy plan which works for them, and we support young people to go at their own pace.

“I have a really good relationship with the adults they understand me, and my sense of humour and I feel safe with them. At the moment they are trying to help me get back into education which I find really hard.”
