We’re incredibly pleased to share that Keyline Care has successfully registered our third and 4th children’s homes in Ollerton, Nottinghamshire, further expanding our specialist residential provision

Four friends jump and cheer in a bright living room, arms raised, smiling with pizza on the floor and sunlight streaming in.

Both homes have been successfully registered and specifically developed as solo provisions for young people with highly complex needs, where a smaller, individualised environment and a consistent team around the child can provide the stability, safety and therapeutic support they need.


At Keyline Care, our approach goes far beyond providing a place to live.


Our homes are supported by a comprehensive therapeutic package, with psychology embedded into the day-to-day care of our young people. This includes:


  • Assistant Psychologists working directly within our services, providing regular therapeutic input and supporting the wider staff team.

  • Clinical Psychology oversight and supervision, ensuring our therapeutic work remains clinically informed, formulation-led and responsive to each young person.

  • Individual psychological formulation, helping us understand the experiences, relationships, trauma and patterns that may sit underneath a young person’s presentation rather than simply responding to behaviour.

  • Our structured Keyline Therapeutic Pathway, providing stabilisation-focused therapeutic work around emotional regulation, safety, relationships, trauma responses and developing healthier ways of coping.

  • Trauma-informed and attachment-focused practice, incorporating approaches including PACE, CBT and DBT-informed strategies alongside relational and co-regulatory practice.

  • Therapeutic support for the whole staff team, including training, reflective practice and consultation, so that therapeutic thinking isn’t limited to a weekly session – it becomes part of how the whole home understands and responds to the young person.


For young people with complex needs, we believe the environment, care team, therapeutic support and placement plan all need to work together.


Our solo provisions allow us to build that package around one young person – carefully considering matching, staffing, routines, risk, education, relationships and therapeutic intervention from the outset.

These registrations are another important step in the continued development of Keyline Care, and a huge thank you goes to everyone involved in getting both homes to this point.


Most importantly, we’re looking forward to creating two homes where young people can experience stability, consistency, meaningful relationships and genuine opportunities to progress.
