About us

Nottinghamshire County Council currently operates two homes for children with disabilities. There is also a plan to operate a further four bed home for children with disabilities within the next 18 months. Nottinghamshire County Council also operates two mainstream homes with a plan to grow this provision further. The homes for children with disabilities can be accessed by children from all over the UK. Each home provides specialist care to meet children's specific physical and emotional needs. Caudwell House caters for children with physical disabilities and associated learning difficulties, the majority of which require wheelchair usage. Conditions include cerebral palsy, spina bifida and muscular dystrophy resulting in some service users having total and high health care needs and some with a low life threshold. The home offers residential and respite placements to children. We believe it is important to create an environment where a child's individual, spiritual, cultural, educational, health, leisure and life experiences are met in a non-institutional way. We strive to create and maintain a homely, welcoming atmosphere where children feel safe, listened to, valued, respected and cared for. Living in a residential home can, and should be, a valuable and rewarding experience for children. Children are helped to develop positive skills and practical abilities, through a range of positive interactions with staff and others.
