New Forest Care Limited has been in operation as an acute residential, education and therapeutic childcare provider since June 2001.

The services offered by New Forest Care are unique within the residential, mental health and educational childcare fields as we build our bespoke services around the needs of the child as opposed to a ‘one size fits all’ approach. We strongly believe that through positive role modelling and the therapeutic ‘parenting’ (using DDP and PACE) provided by our staff team, the children in our care are able to fully experience appropriate attachments. In this respect we do not use temporary or bank staff in our support roles.

We have 12 small-scale residential children’s homes and several school sites that also accept day students who are not in our care. Our education facilities also include a school farm and Outdoor Learning Centre with a Forest School, offering alternative learning experiences.
