Key Features
We have designed a ‘home away from home’ service to help children and young people with a wide range of support needs to promote their independence by being supported in a safe and secure environment.
Hollybush House is a home for children that strives to provide an exciting place for children and young people to live in. We want our young people to feel they are in a safe, caring, and stable environment. Hollybush benefits from being in a proximity to the Chippenham local town centre for all essential amenities. The house is also situated in idyllic and peaceful residential area close to local animal farms and leisure centre.
Children and young persons will be provided with opportunities to participate in a range of leisure activities (e.g., for music and dance) appropriate to their needs, abilities, and interests. Chippenham is surrounded by a wealth of beautiful parks, play areas and open space e.g., Monkton Park and John Coles Park, that offer some sport games like tennis and bowling for children. Close by is our lovely Chippenham Museum. This is one place young people and children can find out the full history and story behind Chippenham and enjoy painting and reading historical books about the town.
Children and young persons can use the house back garden to play or host their birthday parties, have cultural and religious events with their family members who are welcome to come spend time with them whilst 24-hour support is given by our staff to monitor their safety. All risk assessments would be regularly conducted to maintain the safety of the children and young person’s whilst they are living at Hollybush House. The garden can also be utilised by the children and young persons to learn how to do gardening and grow vegetables that can then be used to prepare their daily meals.
Hollybush House is a 4-bedroom house with one of the rooms converted to a study room that children or young persons can use to have quality study time. It also has a hobby room outside in the garden that can be utilised for recreational purposes e.g., for art & craft work, playing games and music writing.
Hollybush House is a furnished residential home that will provide all the basic amenities that a child or young person needs. They are welcome to bring personal items with them to make it more homely for themselves.
Hollybush House offers 24/7 support for all children and young people who will be monitored by highly skilled staff, geared on empowering them and instilling confidence, self-esteem and helping them to find themselves to pursue their dreams.
