Nurture Haven is an OFSTED registered company which offers an environment free from stress and prejudice where families are given the opportunity to demonstrate parenting capacity in line with the requirements of their 12-week assessment. Our assessment of a family provides evidence-based recommendations to safeguard the child and is used to determine whether the parent can care for the child safely in the community. We provide a safe space where children can benefit from the shared experience with their parents whilst addressing the specific safety concerns related to their case.
We encourage parents to develop their confidence, skills, and abilities in parenting their children and demonstrating their potential to provide for the needs of their children while also
addressing their own individual concerns.
Our residential family assessment centre conducts assessments of parenting skill and capacity, which are robust, fair and evidence-based and reflect on the family’s individual needs. We provide a final report of our assessment which is clearly linked to the court instruction and local authority requirements and is delivered within the specified timescales.
The family centre is a warm, welcoming environment and is situated in Northampton in a quiet area . The house is very bright and decorated to a high standard, with a large back garden with play equipment of children of all ages. The house is suitable for single parent families or A family of two parents and a child. It can accommodate up to two families at any one time.
The family rooms are furnished to a high standard and have the necessities parents will need throughout their stay. There is one en-suite bedroom for one family at the top floor and one room in the middle floor with a separate bathroom. This a communal lounge, an office/meeting room, a playroom, an education room, and a garden . There is a shared kitchen
where parents are encouraged to cook their meals and take meals together as a family. We favour a communal model whereby the families spend most of their time in communal areas of the house so that we can work closely with the families. This lends itself to helping to develop professional working relationships with residents quickly, and an ability to maximise the opportunity for the parent to receive advice and guidance and for staff to assesses any progress. We have onsite parking for staff and a large back garden to the rear of the house.
We have a built-in soft play area for children in the back garden, including age-appropriate stimulating toys.
